To provide a coupling structure of a rotating structure and a steering angle sensor aiming at reduction of noise.
In the coupling structure of a first rotor member (a rotor housing) 4 of the rotating connector 1 and a second rotor member (a rotating member) 12 of the steering angle sensor 2, a plurality of elastic pieces 9d extended downward are provided at an inner periphery part of the first rotor member 4, engagement protrusions 12c to be fitted into engagement holes 9e of the elastic pieces 9d are provided at an inner periphery part of the second rotor member 12, and the corresponding elastic pieces 9d and engagement protrusions 12c are snap-combined. When a stator member 3 of the rotating connector 1 and a fixing member 13 of the steering angle sensor 2 are coupled and fixed at assembly, an interval of the both rotor members 4, 12 is narrowed to have each elastic piece 11b bent and deformed, so that tongue parts 9f of the elastic pieces 9d are elastically pressure contacted with the engagement protrusions 12c to have the both rotor members 4, 12 elastically biased in axial direction and radial directions.
