ABSTRACT:
A method and construction for providing thermal management and vibration isolation to a component that requires a controlled temperature during operation. The component (e.g., a hard disk drive) is mounted within an enclosure such that the component is substantially isolated from mechanical vibrations, and the isolation mechanism further provides a thermal path from the component to the enclosure. An elastomeric article which supports the component may be attached to the interior of the enclosure, the elastomeric article being loaded with thermally conductive fillers (fibers or non-directional particulates molded within the elastomer material). Alternatively, a wire rope which supports the component may be attached to the interior of the enclosure, the wire rope having at least one support strand and at least one heat transfer strand that has a higher thermal conductivity than the support strand.
