Need help to name a electronic part! name this part game:p

hello all. ive been searching high and low for this part:

its an electrical contact which allows two parts to spin 360 in relation to eachother while still maintaining electrical contact. usually looks like a metal disk with a wiper on the other side. im sure they are used in things like rotating security cameras where the camera does 360 turns, but its still hard wired.

im looking for a three ring type, which would allow me to control a servo through a 360 joint.

everybody knows what im talking about, but knowbody knows the actual name of it. this makes it hard to search for one!

The below type gizmo would probably work.

thats actually a very good idea i hadnt thought of that, thanks. unfortunatly on this project i need a ring type becuase the shaft is located where this would go.

I’ve never tried any of these, but just some ideas:

extension cord by Stanley, with 360deg rotating plug.

slip ring from inside an extension cord/trouble light cord self-retracting reel.
I’ve seen them on sale at Home Depot for $20-$25.

or purchase a “rotating electrical connector” here:
mercotac.com/

or purchase a slip ring here:
uea-inc.com/products/slip-rings/default.aspx

or, make your own slip ring, here:

yeah kmc has it, slip-ring is what you are looking for.
they get kind of expensive… might be easier to make your own.
