Abstract
Abstract A unique housing apparatus for mounting of sensitive electronic equipment includes a polymer gasket which, when combined with the housing, isolates the electronic devices mounted therein from shock, vibration and cavitation. The polymer gasket includes characteristics wherein shock waves are dissipated along parallel planes of the polymer rather than in the normal direction of the polymer.
