Abstract: A device embodied as a measuring- and/or switching-device of industrial measurements and automation technology and/or an electronic, device, has at least one housing with at least one chamber, especially a chamber accommodating electrical, electronic and/or electromechanical components and/or assemblies of the device, especially a chamber which is sealed pressure-tightly and/or explosion-resistantly. A space of such chamber surrounding the components and/or assemblies is at least partially, especially completely and/or in an ignition protection type “Ex-m” guaranteeing manner, filled with embedding compound. Additionally incorporated in the embedding compound are hollow bodies, especially essentially spherically shaped, hollow bodies and/or hollow bodies filled with gas, especially hollow bodies e.g. in the form of microballoons.
