Temperature-compensated crystal oscillator assembly

A protective assembly adapted to provide temperature isolation for an electronic device, the assembly comprising:

• a housing comprising a cavity having a top surface and at least one side surface, the housing configured to accept the electronic device having a top and a bottom in the cavity with the top of the electronic device proximate to the top surface of the cavity, the housing further configured to maintain at least a partial vacuum within the cavity;
• and
• at least one support disposed within the cavity, the at least one support configured to contact the housing only at a first point proximate to the top surface of the cavity and contact the electronic device only at a second point that is proximate to the bottom of the electronic device, the at least one support comprising at least one lateral bumper configured to contact the at least one side surface of the cavity only when the at least one support is deformed.
