A vibration isolator and method of assembly utilize “flex circuits” to provide both vibration/shock isolation and integrated electrically isolated conductive paths to support lightweight devices (<100 grams) such as crystal oscillators, IC chips, MEMs devices and the like. Each flex circuit includes a least one polymer layer and at least one of the flex circuits includes at least one patterned conductive layer. The isolator may be integrally formed from a stack of polymer layers and patterned conductive layers to provide the plurality of flex circuits, platform and connectors. Most typically, flex circuits are Type 4 in which the multiple polymer layers have a loose leaf or bonded configuration. Flex circuits are easy to produce in large quantities at low cost with standardized and repeatable performance characteristics.
