Abstract

The invention relates to a vibration damper (5) that can be provided between an electronic housing (1) and the fixed structure of an aircraft nacelle (3). It comprises a block of an elastic material (10), a screw (7) for securing the block (10) to said fixed structure (3), and means (11, 29a, 29b) for securing said housing (1) onto said block (10). It is characterized in that it comprises means (13, 15) for limiting the travel of said attachment means (11, 29a, 29b) relative to said securing screw (7) in at least two directions of the space, wherein the limitation means (13, 15) are sized so as to prevent any strain on the screw (7) that could lead to the fatigue and/or breakage thereof.
