Abstract: An automation device configured for an automation environment and for automating an industrial process includes a basic housing, a front hood, a primary heatsink for dissipating heat from a microprocessor, wherein the front hood is slottable onto the basic housing and assembles to form a closed housing which encloses the primary heatsink, the primary heatsink is rigidly connected to the basic housing on a bottom side of the basic housing via a locating bearing, the front hood includes a projecting retaining element on an inner side, a recess is arranged on a top side of the primary heatsink and into which the retaining element engages when the housing is closed, an elastic shaped element is arranged between the projecting retaining element and the recess, and the elastic shaped element absorbs oscillating forces of the primary heatsink in three spatial axes (x,y,z).
