1. Apparatus for isolating an electronic device from mechanical shock and thermal environments, comprising:
- a layer of a rubber-like material surrounding said electronic device;
a mass of preformed wax-like material having a high heat of fusion for absorbing a substantial quantity of heat before rising above a critical temperature limit in direct contact with and surrounding said rubber-like material;
a heat insulating layer surrounding said mass of wax-like material; and
a metal shell surrounding said heat insulating layer.

Abstract
An apparatus for isolating electronic devices from mechanical shock and thermal environments utilizes a metal outer protective shell surrounding the electronic device to be protected. Interposed between the protective shell and the electronic device are a thermal insulating layer, a layer of phase change material and a layer of mechanical shock absorbent material.
