Zusammenfassung:An electrically conductive vibration dampener is formed from an electrically conductive base, such as a piece of stamped metal, with at least one tab projecting from the base, and a dampening material member coupled to the base so that the tab can be oriented to provide electrical continuity between other conductors when the electrically conductive vibration dampener is installed into a device. The dampening material member is molded to the base, attached to the base with adhesive, or mechanically attached by for example, registering an edge of the base to a groove formed in the dampening material member. Additionally, the electrically conductive vibration dampener can include an aperture through which a fastener can pass, so that the electrically conductive vibration dampener can be used much like a grommet or washer when fastening components together.
