Electronic device having a can housing and method for producing the same

An electronic device having a can housing having:

• a can housing with an open end face via which a plug-in unit can be inserted into the can housing, wherein the plug-in unit comprises a populated printed circuit board and a multicontact connector including a contact carrier that carries contact elements electrically connected to the printed circuit board,
• wherein the can housing has an integrated connector collar which integrally extends the can housing and which defines an opening sized and shaped to receive the populated printed circuit board and multicontact connector of the plug-in unit during insertion of the plug-in unit into the can housing, such that in an inserted position of the plug-in unit, the integrated connector collar surrounds the multicontact connector having the contact elements, and
• wherein the plug-in unit is formed as a physically separate component from the can housing having the connector collar, and
• wherein an outer contour of the contact carrier is at least partially matched to an inner contour of the connector collar.
