Abstract

A robust probe (1) which can be installed simply and without special tools and can be produced at low cost is provided, said probe having an essentially rod-shaped probe housing (2), which has an axial, conical interior space, and a clamping cone (10), which is compressible in the radial direction, is arranged in the interior space and on which there is arranged at least one sheet-like electrode (11, 12, 13) , which is pressed by the clamping cone (10) against a wall of the probe housing (2) such that said electrode is in surface contact and there are no gaps.
