Connecting cable and measuring device formed therewith

A connecting cable for electrical connection to an electrical component that is operated at least temporarily at a maximum operating temperature of more than 350° C. and/or at least temporarily at a minimum operating temperature of less than −40° C., the connecting cable comprising:

• a first wire made of an electrically conductive material;
• a second wire made of the electrically conductive material;
• and
• a plurality of connecting elements that serve for the mechanical and electrically insulated connection of the first and second wires, each connecting element made of a material having an electrical breakdown strength of not less than 300 V/mm and a transformation temperature of more than 400° C., wherein each of the connecting elements is mechanically connected to both the first wire and the second wire such that the first and second wires are spaced apart or electrically insulated from one another to form an electrical insulating resistance of no less than 1 MΩ.

A measuring device, comprising:

• a resistive, capacitive, electrodynamic, or piezoelectric electrical component serving as a sensor element for converting at least one physical measurement variable into at least one electrical measurement signal with at least one signal parameter dependent upon the measurement variable;
• an electronic measuring circuit for processing the at least one electrical measurement signal;
• and
• a connecting cable for electrical connection to the electrical component that is operated at least temporarily at a maximum operating temperature of more than 350° C. and/or at least temporarily at a minimum operating temperature of less than −40° C., the connecting cable including:
• a first wire made of an electrically conductive material;
• a second wire made of the electrically conductive material;
• and
• a plurality of connecting elements that serve for the mechanical and electrically insulated connection of the first and second wires, each connecting element made of a material having an electrical breakdown strength of not less than 300 V/mm and a transformation temperature of more than 400° C., wherein each of the connecting elements is mechanically connected to both the first wire and the second wire such that the first and second wires are spaced apart or electrically insulated from one another to form an electrical insulating resistance of no less than 1 MΩ.
