(OP)
I am wondering what are some of the most effective materials for sealing sensitive electronics against shock, and vibrations. Also, it is important that the materials can dissipate heat readily. Any ideas?

RE: Shock absorbents; heat dissipation

Hi Shabaa,

We have successfully used in the past SMACTANE material:

However, the requirements for a shock or vibration isolator/damper material might be incompatible. Really think about from what kind of excitations you want to protect your equipment.

I think we used Viton Material as well.
