Find out how the “Cleanliness Protected” (CP) option can help satisfy OEM requirements for technical cleanliness, and minimize the risk of contaminants causing current leakage, short circuits, voltage flashovers or similar issues— especially in high-voltage electronics and high-value ADAS applications that can’t afford to fail in the field.

Reliably Protect Headlamps Against Condensation as well as Dirt and Water Ingress

Learn why BEV headlamps are more vulnerable to condensation than their warmer-running ICE counterparts, and why GORE® Automotive Vents are more effective than other venting methods at providing effective, life-of-vehicle condensation clearing and ingress protection so that BEV headlamps can continue to provide a clear view for drivers and any integrated sensors.

Find out why Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) headlamps are especially vulnerable to condensation…and the best way to remedy that. Our 9-minute presentation has the answers you need.

Does your Headlamp Design Delay Condensation Clearing?

Learn why Toyota Motor Corporation chose to partner with GORE® Automotive Vents when other venting solutions could not meet Toyota’s performance requirements for a new e-axle containing lubricated gears and a higher-voltage e-motor. This Case Study outlines the associated challenges, solution and results — including an on-time product launch for Toyota.

Discover how EV OEMs and component manufacturers can collaborate with Gore to address industry challenges — such as cost, range and reliability concerns — to help consumers embrace e-mobility with full confidence.

Gore Automotive Supply Chain leaders share strategies and insights about the ways Gore’s innovative approach is helping EV industry leaders achieve a smoother transition to a more sustainable future.

GORE® Vents provide life-of-vehicle protection to maintain the reliability of lighting systems that support vehicle differentiation and functionalities — for example, in EVs where thinner modular lamps can illuminate brand signatures and integrate new sensing/communication devices.

As LED lighting proliferates in automotive applications, so does condensation. That’s because LED lamps’ heat source is at the rear of the assembly, making the lens area the cold spot where condensation forms most easily. Often with unpleasant results: foggy, cloudy or streaky lenses, and lamps that don’t shine as brightly as when they left the showroom. Condensation could also compromise integrated sensors or other electronic devices.

This document provides performance characteristics and specifications for GORE® Automotive Vents AVS 22 and AVS 23, suitable for rear lamps. Featuring a laminate construction, these low-profile adhesive vents provide a secure bond to the housing.
