Describes the performance options (High Airflow and High Temperature) available in the Weldable Series for automotive electrical/electronic modules, (e.g. control units, sensors, actuators or motors). Includes performance characteristics as well as design and dimensions.

Describes the performance options (Standard, High Temperature, High Airflow, and Compact) available in the Snap-Fit Series for automotive electronic modules (control units, sensors, actuators and motors). Includes performance characteristics, installation recommendations, and testing methods/criteria.

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.

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.

GORE® Catalytic Device is a development based on the world's most advanced ePTFE technology and catalyst sheet formation technology from Gore. This small catalytic device can be installed inside flooded lead acid batteries. For use in manifold type automotive flooded lead acid batteries.

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.

A critical aspect of vent selection begins with defining the level of protection your application, device or housing requires.

IP ratings cannot be “converted” to NEMA ratings, since NEMA requires additional testing not included in IP. However, there are minimum NEMA ratings that will meet or exceed a given IP code.

Designed for high performance in both electrified and traditional Powertrain components. These compact and waterproof tube-mount vents provide responsive pressure equalization and reliable ingress protection that complies with global OEM standards including water wading, vehicle rollover and fluid containment.

Fluctuations in temperature create failures in electronic devices due to pressure differentials. Gore application engineers simulated a rapid heating and cooling cycle to understand the effects of pressure differentials. This document describes the test procedures and results.

This document explains the format and classification of Ingress Protection (IP) ratings, according to the IEC 60529 standards.
