A wireless dongle for use in the potentially explosive area for an automation field device to connect to an electrical interface of the field device, having a wireless circuit for sending and receiving wireless signals and a connector element. The wireless dongle can be detachably fitted to the electrical interface by means of the connector element. The connector element has several contact elements, wherein the contact elements are attached to a printed circuit board in the wireless dongle, that a first contact element is used to supply the wireless dongle with energy, that an energy buffer on the printed circuit board is provided which is downstream of the first contact element. The connector element has a second contact element which is used to transmit data between the field device and the wireless dongle, that in each case there is at least one limiting resistor is downstream of the first contact element and the second contact element, and that the resistors and the energy buffer of the wireless dongle are encapsulated by means of a potting compound. |
