  • Patent number: 11877417
    Abstract: A housing module of a field device includes: a housing including a first housing chamber and a second housing chamber separated by a partition wall; measurement/control electronics disposed in the first housing chamber; interface electronics for connecting lines for supplying energy to the field device arranged in the second housing chamber, wherein the housing includes a first wall region to receive the partition wall, the first wall region separated from the partition wall by a gap having a path length, wherein the ratio of a gap width to the path length is less than 0.02; and a securing device for limiting a range of movement of the partition wall toward the second housing chamber, wherein the housing includes a second wall region with a groove extending parallel to a cross-sectional plane of the partition wall, the securing device including an engagement device to engage in the groove.

  • Patent number: 10480969
    Abstract: A field device of measuring- and automation technology, which field device meets requirements for operation in explosion-endangered environments. Safe operation of the field device in explosion-endangered environments is assured by a pluggable connector coupling for electrical coupling of different field device components. An essential feature of the pluggable connector coupling is a sealing element for spatial and gas-tight sealing of a contact region of contacting elements of the pluggable connector coupling from a free volume remaining in the pluggable connector coupling.

  • Patent number: 9541428
    Abstract: An interface between a sensor unit and an explosion resistant housing, wherein arranged in the explosion resistant housing is a measurement amplifier. In the interface, which is simply manufacturable and, despite that, meets the requirements of explosion protection, the measurement amplifier is arranged on a plug unit formed in the sensor unit and preferably protruding inwardly into the explosion resistant housing.

  • Publication number: 20110317390
    Abstract: An electronics housing comprises a housing basic body having a cavity, especially a single cavity. The housing basic body includes a side wall laterally bordering the cavity, an open end and a rear wall bounding the cavity on an end lying opposite the open end and remote therefrom. Also included is a housing lid releasably connected to the housing basic body on the open end and sealing the housing basic body; and an intermediate floor. The intermediate floor, in the case of the electronics housing of the invention, forms: a gap extending between an inner surface of the side wall of the housing basic body and a lateral surface of the intermediate floor facing the inner surface; and two housing chambers in the cavity of the housing basic body separated from one another by the intermediate floor. A first housing chamber is arranged on a first side of the intermediate floor facing the housing lid and a second housing chamber is arranged on a second side of the intermediate floor facing away from the housing lid.
