Abstract

A field device of measuring- and automation technology, which field device meets requirements for operation in explosion-endangered environments. Safe operation of the field device in explosion-endangered environments is assured by a pluggable connector coupling for electrical coupling of different field device components. An essential feature of the pluggable connector coupling is a sealing element for spatial and gas-tight sealing of a contact region of contacting elements of the pluggable connector coupling from a free volume remaining in the pluggable connector coupling.
