Abstract:
A watertight sensing device, particularly a pressure-sensing device, to be suspended in filling material, consisting of a metal housing, a sensor positioned inside the housing, and a seat connected to the housing for conducting in watertight fashion a connection cable which is intended to relieve pull and is electrically connected to the sensor and mechanically connected to the housing and which exhibits a shielding jacket which consists of metal mesh and is connected to the housing for purpose of grounding, whereinon its end that projects into the housing (10) the seat (20) exhibits a coaxial boring (28) whose diameter corresponds to the outer diameter of the shielding jacket (32); the shielding jacket (32) freed from the outer cable jacket (31) is inserted into this boring (28); inserted into the end (33) of the shielding jacket (32) is a metal sleeve (36) whose outer diameter corresponds to the inner diameter of the shielding jacket (32, 32a); and in the area of the sleeve (36) inserted into the boring (28) the seat is compressed from the outside in order to reduce the cross-section and thereby secure the shielding jacket (32).
