Abstract

An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a light curtain device (10, 20) comprising one or more light emitting elements for generating a light curtain, wherein the light curtain device (10, 20) comprises a housing (30) for accommodating the one or more light emitting elements and a first and a second opening (31, 32) at opposing end sections of the housing (30), wherein a terminal cap (11, 12) and an internal gasket (80) are mounted at at least one of the openings (31, 32) of the housing (30), the internal gasket (80) being mounted between the terminal cap (11, 12) and the housing (30) and sealing the interface between the terminal cap (11, 12) and the housing (30) in an airtight manner to prevent fluids from entering the interior of the housing (30) at the interface between the terminal cap (11, 12) and the housing (30), wherein the terminal cap (11, 12) comprises electrical contact elements (40, 41) that each have an internal end that is connected to one or more electrical components located inside the housing (30), and an external end which allows connecting the electrical contact element (40, 41) to a corresponding electrical contact element (40, 41) of another light curtain device (10, 20), wherein the electrical contact elements (40, 41) extend along the terminal cap (11, 12) and pass the internal gasket (80), and wherein at least one squeezing element provides a squeezing force onto the internal gasket (80).
