Abstract
The present invention is a conductive isolator including a damping structure, a conductive bridge component positioned within the damping structure, axial contact points between the damping structure and the conductive bridge component and radial contact points between the damping structure and the conductive bridge component.
Claims17
A conductive isolator comprising:
- a damping structure;
- a conductive bridge component positioned within the damping structure;
- axial contact points between the damping structure and the conductive bridge component;
- and
- radial contact points between the damping structure and the conductive bridge component.
2 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a conductive isolator comprising:
- a damping structure;
- a conductive bridge component positioned within the damping structure;
- radial contact points between the damping structure and the conductive bridge component;
- and
- axial contact points between the damping structure and the conductive bridge component;
- and
- an assembly housing the conductive isolator, the assembly comprising:
