Search for elastic (vibration damping) pcb support - standoff
« on: August 19, 2019, 12:29:46 pm »
I'm searching for a PCB support / standoff (similar to he plastic ones made by RICHCO and others) to mount a PCB on top of another one, but made with an elastic material (rubber?) to reduce vibration and shocks transmitted to the top PCB.

I've seen similar ones in computer enclosures, to support Hard Drives, but I was not able to source them.

Any information will be truly appreciated

Best regards

Essentra are pretty good for mounting hardware. They have this one for example.

Try "damping balls" at hobbyking.com.

Thanks, I could not find it on Essentra's Italian site.
I will call them.

If you search for "anti-vibration" there are lots on places like ebay or aliexpress.
