Protective hood for a field device, and measurement/automation field device

A protective hood designed for a measurement/automation field device,

• wherein the protective hood has a longitudinal axis and a hood wall, which has an open first end and a closed second end and forms a hood chamber,
• wherein the hood chamber is designed to receive an electronics housing of the field device along the longitudinal axis via the open first end,
• wherein the protective hood has at least one fastening apparatus, which is designed to be brought into mechanical contact with the electronics housing,
• wherein the protective hood, without an application of force, has a first shape in which the fastening apparatus is at a first distance from the longitudinal axis,
• characterized in that
• the protective hood can be elastically deformed, by an application of force, into a second shape in which the fastening apparatus is at a second distance from the longitudinal axis, the second distance being greater than the first distance.
