Field device

A field device for determining a process variable, comprising:

• an electrically insulating housing having an interior and a passageway that adjoins the interior along a device axis;
• an enclosure composed of an electrically conductive material, wherein the enclosure is secured in the interior and is formed to surround a first electronics module at least radially relative to the device axis;
• a measuring device neck that is secured to the enclosure in such a manner that the measuring device neck is oriented in a direction of the device axis and in communication with the passageway of the electrically insulating housing;
• and
• a sensor for determining the process variable, wherein the sensor is arranged at a housing far end region of the measuring device neck.

A method for producing a field device, comprising:

• providing:
• an electrically insulating housing having an interior and a passageway that adjoins the interior along a device axis;
• an enclosure composed of an electrically conductive material;
• a first electronics module;
• and
• a measuring device neck;
• arranging the first electronics module within the enclosure;
• securing the enclosure in the interior of the electrically insulating housing;
• and
• securing the measuring device neck to the enclosure such that the measuring device neck is arranged in the passageway of the housing.
