To provide a rotary electronic component capable of easily reducing an outer diameter, even if each kind of electronic component, or the like is installed, for example, at the center.
The rotary electronic component comprises a flexible circuit board 40 to which a plurality of sliders 60, 61, 63 are mounted; and a rotor 130, having a slide pattern 112 for allowing slide contacts 60c, 60c, 61c, 63c provided at the sliders 60, 61, 63 to be in slide contact. By rotating the rotor 130 with respect to the flexible circuit board 40, the slide pattern 112 is allowed to be in slide contact with the slide contacts 60c, 60c, 61c, 63c in the slides 60, 61, 63, thus changing the electrical output among respective slides 60, 61, 63. Any one of the slide pattern 112, or the slide contacts 60c, 60c, 61c, 63c of the slides 60, 61, 63 is arranged on one circular track.
