All types of electronic enclosures used outdoors are subjected to temperature fluctuations and to wind, precipitation, and solar radiation. A sudden drop in temperature due to a rainstorm can cause a 200 mbar (3 psi) vacuum inside the enclosure. GORE® Protective Vents enable pressure equalization, preventing the ingress of air and moisture around seals and preserving the seal's integrity.
Devices such as mobile phones, two-way radios and computer equipment are
exposed to common elements — water, cleaning fluids, dust, and dirt —
which can damage sensitive acoustic and electrical components. GORE®
Portable Electronic Vents allow acoustic devices to be dust-tight and water-
resistant without compromising sound transmission quality.
