Abstract
A rotating contactor for a motor vehicle steering column, including at least one flexible electrical connecting tape, means for winding/unwinding the flexible tape having a plurality of tracks, a cassette that can be mounted on the steering column, a stationary part, and a moving part that can be rotatably connected to the steering wheel of the vehicle, and defining, with the stationary part, a housing for the flexible tape and the tracks. The stationary part of the cassette has a viewing window, and one of the tracks is differentiated and has at least one portion designed to be arranged substantially across from the viewing window of the cassette when the rotating contactor is in the neutral position.
