Abstract
A 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. The hood chamber is designed to receive an electronics housing of a field device along the longitudinal axis via the open first end. The protective hood has at least one fastening apparatus, which is designed to be brought into mechanical contact with the electronics housing. Without an application of force, the protective hood 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.
