Abstract
The potting shell 1 of the invention, for an electronic circuit on a circuit board 8, comprises a wall arrangement 2, 3, 6, 7, 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; wherein the volume between the circuit board 8 and a main wall 2, 3, 6 of the potting shell, running essentially parallel, at least sectionally, to the circuit board 8, can be filled with potting compound, characterized in that the main wall has at least one flexible section 3, which, based on a thermal expansion of the potting compound, can be deformed perpendicular to the plane of the flexible section.

A potting shell for a populated circuit board, including:
- a wall arrangement with a main wall, said wall arrangement 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;
- and
- said 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 said flexible section.
An electronics module, comprising:
- a populated circuit board, which is arranged in a potting shell, and is potted therein with potting compound;
- said potting shell including:
- a wall arrangement with a main wall, said wall arrangement 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;
- and
- said 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 said flexible section.
A measuring transmitter for registering a process parameter, comprising:
- a housing, in which an electronics module, is arranged which includes:
- a wall arrangement with a main wall, said wall arrangement 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;
- and
- said 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 said flexible section.
