Abstract
A vibration damping element, particularly for electrical and/or electronic components, such as printed circuits, integrated circuits or internal connection (IC) bases, relay bases, and the like. The damping element has at least one fastening part, intended for the damping element and arranged on a damping member made of vibration damping material, and also has at least one support surface and holder or support for the components to be damped. The support surface is formed by a portion of the surface of the damping member, on which the structural components to be damped are directly supported. The holder for the structural components to be damped is formed by a part of the damping member itself.
Claims38
A vibration damping element, especially for motor vehicle installation and damping of highly sensitive electrical and electronic components, comprising:
- a damping member of resilient vibration damping material, said damping member being provided with at least one support surface and holding means for directly and immediately supporting said components thereon, said support surface being formed by a completely resilient portion of the surface of said damping member, and said holding means being formed by a resilient portion of said damping member itself;
- and
- at least one fastening part, which has an engagement side for remote fastening said damping element to a vehicle structure, said at least one fastening part being arranged on said damping member though away from said completely resilient portion.
