Abstract

The invention relates to an adapter device with a mechanical interface and with an electrical interface for the electrical connection to an electronic insert of a measuring apparatus housing comprising a sensor unit. According to the invention, the adapter device comprises a supporting element, and the mechanical interface for a mechanical securing of the adapter device is configured at an interface slot of the electronic insert and/or of the measuring apparatus housing, as a resilient and non-electrically conducting casting compound which partially surrounds the supporting element of the adapter device, with at least one contour element which is adapted substantially true to contour to the interface slot and which establishes a securing operative connection to said slot.

Dependent claims

An adapter device, enabling an electrical connection to an electronic insert of a measuring apparatus housing having a sensor unit, said adaptor device comprising:

a mechanical interface and an electrical interface operably enabling an reliable electrical connection from said sensor unit of said electronic insert of said measuring apparatus housing to an receiver;
a supporting element, and
said mechanical interface operably formed for mechanically securing said adapter device to an interface slot of said electronic insert of said measuring apparatus housing;
said mechanical interface including means for resiliently and non-electrically securing said adaptor device and which partially surrounds said supporting element of said adapter device, with at least one contour element;
said at least one contour element being adapted substantially true to an interior contour to the interface slot thereby establishing a securing operative connection to said slot.
