Field device

A method for manufacturing a field device, the field device, including:

• an electrical pin, having a cable connection and an end pin opposite the cable connection;
• a device housing having a bushing into which the electrical pin can be inserted along an insertion axis;
• a cup made of an electrically conductive material that can be arranged in the housing and having a receiving region that is aligned with the bushing with respect to the insertion axis such that the end pin of the electrical pin terminates in the receiving region, and
• an electrically conductive spring configured to resiliently enclose the end pin in the receiving region radially with respect to the insertion axis such that the electrical pin is electrically contacted with the cup,
• wherein the housing is made of an electrically insulating material, the method comprising:
• inserting the spring element into the receiving region of the cup;
• inserting the cup into the housing such that the receiving region or the spring element is aligned with the bushing with respect to the insertion axis;
• and
• inserting the electrical pin into the bushing from an outer side of the housing remote from the cup such that the end pin is radially resiliently enclosed by the spring element with respect to the insertion axis and such that the electrical pin is electrically contacted with the cup.
