  • Patent number: 11467009
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a connecting element for electrical connecting two electrical modules arranged in a transmitter housing of a field device, into which transmitter housing the connecting element is insertable, the connecting element including: at least two essentially rod-shaped metal conductor elements, each with two opposing end sections, wherein the conductor elements are arranged in a defined separation relative to one another; and surrounding the conductor elements and electrically insulating them from one another, a multi-membered insulating body including two insulating body end segments of at least a first synthetic material and an insulating body intermediate segment of a second synthetic material different from the first synthetic material, wherein the first synthetic material has a modulus of elasticity greater than a modulus of elasticity of the second synthetic material.

  • Patent number: 11044826
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cover-securing mechanism for a transmitter housing closed by a screwed-on cover. The cover-securing mechanism includes a securement pin with a screw arranged at a first end region of the securement pin. A passageway, which is embodied to accommodate the securement pin, is integrated in the cover. A groove includes a circularly shaped section and is introduced into a cover facing region of the transmitter housing. The securement pin is securable at a transmitter housing far end of the cover in the passageway such that in a secured state a second end region of the securement pin protrudes inwardly into the groove and, as such, a twisting of the cover screwed onto the transmitter housing is constrained relative to the transmitter housing.

  • Publication number: 20210176878
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a housing cover for a field device of automation technology, a housing having a corresponding housing cover as well as a field device having a corresponding housing. The housing cover includes a housing cover body having at least one opening, a viewing window, which can be placed in the opening, and a securement means for securing the housing cover, especially releasably, on a housing body of a housing of the field device. According to the invention, the viewing window is composed, at least partially, of an impact resistant material, especially a glass, preferably an alumino-silicate glass, a ceramic or a hybrid of a glass or a ceramic and a plastic.

  • Patent number: 7566836
    Abstract: A potting shell, for an electronic circuit on a circuit board, comprises a wall arrangement, which defines a shell volume at least in one spatial direction and in the directions perpendicular thereto; wherein the circuit board is positionable in the shell volume, and can be potted in the shell volume with a potting compound. The volume between the circuit board and a main wall of the potting shell, running essentially parallel, at least sectionally, to the circuit board, can be filled with a potting compound, characterized in that the main wall has at least one flexible section, which, based on a thermal expansion of the potting compound, can be deformed perpendicular to the plane of the flexible section.

  • Patent number: 7426870
    Abstract: For limiting twist of a measurement transmitter housing relative to a sensor element, onto which the measurement transmitter housing is screwed, axial barriers are provided, so that the axial position of the measurement transmitter housing relative to the sensor element is limited to a range between two extreme positions defined by the axial barriers. The axial barriers are preferably formed by a ring, which engages both an annular groove in an outer, lateral surface of the sensor element and an annular groove in a cylindrical duct of the transmitter housing.
