CONNECTION DEVICE FOR MECHANICALLY CONNECTING AN ELECTRONICS HOUSING AND A TRANSDUCER HOUSING, TRANSDUCER HAVING A CONNECTION DEVICE OF THIS TYPE OR FIELD DEVICE FORMED WITH SAME

A connection apparatus comprises: a connecting nozzle having a lumen surrounded by a nozzle wall; as well as a tubular cable duct with a lumen surrounded by a duct wall and extending from a duct end to a duct end remote therefrom for guiding electrical connecting lines. The nozzle wall, or the connecting nozzle formed therewith, has an opening and an opening remote therefrom. The cable duct and the connecting nozzle are additionally so arranged that the cable duct is partially located in the lumen of the connecting nozzle and partially accommodated both by the opening of the nozzle wall as well as also the opening of the nozzle wall, and that a cavity is formed between an inner surface of the nozzle wall facing the lumen and an outer surface of the duct wall facing the lumen. Moreover, the cable duct and the connecting nozzle are so connected together that the cavity is closed gas tightly. The formed measuring transducer by means of such a connection apparatus comprises additionally a measuring transducer housing with a cavity surrounded by a wall as well as, positioned at least partially within the cavity, a sensor element, which is adapted to register a measured variable of a measured substance and to generate least one measurement signal representing the measured variable, wherein the connection apparatus is affixed to the measuring transducer housing. The field device, in turn, includes, moreover, a transmitter electronics electrically connected with the measuring transducer.
