GORE® Protective Vents Snap-In Series
GORE Snap-In Vents provide durable protection to improve the safety, reliability and service life of your sealed outdoor electronic devices, even in the harshest environments.
Durable Protection in a Snap-in Vent
GORE Snap-In Vent Series delivers fast and easy installation making them ideal for high-throughput or manual production. The Snap-In Series offers multiple performance options, suitable for a variety of enclosure volumes.
GORE Protective Vents Snap-In Series provide:
Flexible Installation
Install quickly and easily using automated, semi-automated or manual production methods.
Reliable Fit
Automatically seat and seal to the housing using unique snap-fit construction and sealing o-ring.
Immersion Protection
Keep solid and liquid contaminants away from sensitive electronics, even after the vent has been immersed in liquid.
Reduced Condensation
High permeability to water vapor enables moisture to dissipate and helps minimize condensation.
Extended Lifetime
Rapidly equalize pressure differentials through bi-directional air exchange reducing seal stress and minimizing liquid and contaminant ingress.
Engineered Durability
Materials selected and designed for chemical and temperature resistance and hydrolytic stability.
Product Quality
Ensure performance with 100% quality control, plus most are individually laser-marked to provide full traceability.
These sturdy snap-in breather vents provide fast, reliable installation and durable protection of outdoor electronic devices across a broad range of challenging applications:
GORE Protective Vents Snap-In Series includes four performance options engineered to satisfy a wide range of application requirements, housing materials and enclosure volumes. All GORE Snap-In Vents include our propriety membrane, in either all-membrane or laminate constructions. Our portfolio also offers you the choice of either hydrophobic-only, or oleophobic-and-hydrophobic, protection.
GORE PolyVent Hysi offers fast, economical integration, and gives you the option to inside-mount, for nearly invisible installation. Recommended for smaller enclosures, with internal volumes of up to 3.5 liters.
GORE PolyVent XS is 30% smaller than PolyVent Standard. Recommended for lightweight, thin-walled enclosures with internal volumes of up to five liters.
GORE PolyVent Standard offers reliable performance in many applications. A versatile solution for enclosures with internal volumes of up to five liters.
GORE PolyVent High Airflow, in hydrophobic or oleophobic versions, is ideal for large enclosures because it delivers high airflow for enclosure volumes of up to 30 liters.
Every GORE® Snap-In Vent undergoes in-line quality inspection before they are shipped. Most are individually laser-marked, to provide full product traceability.
