To ensure that our products deliver the performance and reliability that you expect, we conduct various tests and use key performance indicators during vent production.

The Snap-In Series delivers fast reliable installation and durable protection for enclosure volumes of all sizes: from less than 0.5 liters up to 30 liters. Ideal for high-throughput or manual production, the Snap-In Series offers multiple performance options, including new PolyVent XS:  a compact, low-profile vent for today’s smaller, thinner-walled, lighter-weight enclosures.

The current methods used during circuit board assembly to protect MEMS microphones can cause performance degradation, significant yield losses and higher manufacturing costs. With GORE MEMS Protective Vent Style 100, industry-leading protection and acoustic performance can be seamlessly installed during circuit board assembly.

These guidelines are based on Gore’s best practices for handling and installing GORE^® Acoustic Vents for Industrial Applications. Please follow the guidelines to maximize the performance of the vent for the lifetime of your product.

Also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), drones have become commonplace in commercial and defense applications, but as the technology continues to evolve, so does a shift in power management systems. Drones that once ran on high energy density batteries with limited flight time are now being redesigned to rely on high-performing cables, which use a battery backup and offer unlimited flight time. 

Dimensions applicable to ASME B16.5 Pipe Flanges and ASME B16.47 Series A, Large Diameter Steel Flanges.

The Screw-In Series offers a variety of performance options that durably withstand mechanical stresses and rugged environments. They all provide oleophobic membranes and are hydrolytically-stable, UV- and temperature-resistant. Compare all the PolyVent options, including the enhanced GORE^® PolyVent Stainless Steel, now top-rated “IK10” for mechanical impact resistance. It provides exceptional protection that helps enclosures up to 20 liters withstand the toughest mechanical and environmental conditions.

GORE® Protective Vents vs. Common Venting Solutions

As the name says, Gore Protective Vents enable pressure equalization through venting with the key feature of ingress protection. Other venting technologies have limits to protecting against the ingress of dust and moisture.

GORE® Gasket Tape Series 1000 addresses all the challenges of reliably sealing large glass-lined-steel flanges.
