Abstract

A probe holder for a fill level measuring device operating with the radar principle has a holder housing, a signal conductor for guiding emitted and/or received signals and a spacer. The signal conductor is led out of the interior space of the holder housing through an opening of the holder housing into a process side exterior space of the holder housing. The spacer is arranged in the opening of the holder housing and keeps the signal conductor spaced from the holder housing in the opening. The probe holder realizes a seal relative to the process area in a simple, but effective manner in that the spacer is held in the holder housing by a shrink-fit so that a sealed closure is created between the holder housing and the spacer in the shrunken-in state.
