Measuring device, transmitter housing and method for producing a measuring device

Transmitter housing, comprising:

• at least one terminal space,
• an electronics space adjacent to the terminal space and connected via a partition wall,
• at least one first electronic device arranged in the terminal space for connection of at least one of supply lines or I/O lines,
• at least one second electronic device with electronics for controlling the sensor arranged in the electronics space,
• a contacting unit electrically conductively connected connecting the first electronic device and the second electronic device to one another,
• wherein the second electronic device has a terminal unit which is connected to the contacting unit via a plug connection that has a joining direction,
• wherein the terminal unit is fixedly arranged in the joining direction and able to float, being movable in directions perpendicular to the joining direction such that the position of the terminal unit is able to move to adapt to the position of the contacting unit when connecting to the contacting unit,
• wherein the transmitter housing is adapted for use in a measuring device having at least one sensor,
• wherein the terminal unit has connecting elements in the form of at least one of the network connecting elements or signal connecting elements for transmitting electrical signals,
• wherein the connecting elements are at least partially formed as funnel-shaped sockets, and
• wherein the second electronic device is an at least partially bendable printed circuit board.

Method for producing a measuring device having at least one sensor and at least one transmitter housing, wherein the transmitter housing has at least one terminal space and an electronics space adjacent to the terminal space and connected via a partition wall, wherein at least a first electronic for the connection of supply and/or I/O lines is arranged in the terminal space and wherein at least a second electronic device is arranged in the electronics space with electronics for controlling the sensor, wherein the second electronic device arranged in the electronics space has a terminal unit with connecting elements in the form of network connecting elements and/or signal connecting elements, and a contacting unit which is fixedly connected to the first electronic device, has contact elements in the form of network contact elements and/or signal contact elements for transmitting electrical signals, wherein the connecting elements are at least partially formed as funnel-shaped sockets,

• the method comprises the following steps:
• installing the second electronic device in the electronics space, wherein the terminal unit is arranged to float due to use of an at least partially bendable printed circuit board as the second electronic device,
• installing the first electronic device in the terminal space, the contacting unit being removably inserted into the partition wall,
• connecting the contacting unit to the terminal unit by installing the first electronic device,
• adapting the terminal unit to the position of the contacting unit by a self-centering movement in a direction perpendicular to an insertion direction of the contacting unit into the terminal unit as the contact elements are inserted into the funnel-shaped sockets.
