Abstract:
The connection apparatus of the invention comprises a platform ( 200 ), a plug connector ( 15 ) having a plug connector part ( 19 ) secured to the platform ( 200 ) and electrically connected to the circuit of the field device and a plug connector part ( 20 ) connectable with the connection cable and complementary to the first plug connector part ( 19 ), as well as a lid ( 16 ) held movably relative to the platform ( 200 ) for at least partially covering the plug connector ( 15 ) formed by connecting the plug connector parts ( 19, 20 ). The lid ( 16 ) is swingable between a first end position, in which the lid ( 16 ) at least partially covers the plug connector, and a second end position, and is additionally adapted in at least one open position located between the first end position and the second end position to expose the plug connector such that the plug connector part ( 20 ) can be separated from the plug connector part ( 19 ), as well as at least in the first end position to secure the plug connector part ( 20 ) connected with the plug connector part ( 19 ).

Claim (Index 20):
A field device, formed as a measuring- and/or switch device, comprising:\n a connection apparatus, for electrically connecting a circuit of a field device, accommodated in an electronics housing, with a connection cable, extended at least partially externally of an electronics housing of the field device and/or a two- or multiline, connection cable, which connection apparatus comprises: a platform composed at least partially of an electrically insulating plastic; a plug connector having: a first plug connector part secured to said platform and electrically connected to the circuit of the field device, especially a first plug connector part in the form of an installed plug, a second plug connector part connectable with the connection cable and complementary to said first plug connector part, especially said second plug connector part in the form of a socket; said first plug connector part has at least one contact pin electrically connected to the circuit of the field device and said second plug connector part has at least one contact socket, electrically connectable with at least one conductor of the connection cable (L 1 , L 2 ); and said first plug connector part and said second plug connector part are releasably connected with one another, in such a manner that said at least one contact socket of said second plug connector part is plugged onto said at least one contact pin of said first plug connector part to form a frictional interlocking and electrically conductively contacts such; as well as a lid, at least partially composed of an electrically insulating plastic, for at least partially covering said plug connector, said lid is held movably relative to said platform, wherein: said lid is swingable, about an axis, between a first end position, in which said lid at least partially covers said plug connector, to form a shape-blocking between said lid and said second plug connector part, and a second end position; and said lid is adapted, in at least one open position located between said first end position and said second end position to expose said plug connector such that said at least one contact socket of said second plug connector part is withdrawable from said at least one contact pin of said first plug connector part along a predetermined removal track, such that said second plug connector part is separated from said first plug connector part, utilizing a removal force acting in a direction of the removal track; and at least in said first end position to secure said second plug connector part connected with said first plug connector part; as well as a device electronics, electrically connected with said connection apparatus; and/or having a circuit electrically connected to the at least one contact pin of the first plug connector part.
