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.

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.

Rapid environmental changes can lead to pressure differentials between inside and outside of an electronic device. GORE^® Pressure Vents provide superb reliability through exceptional balance of airflow and water protection.

Providing Liquid Resistance, Acoustic Consistency, and Reliable Supply

GORE^® Acoustic Vents for immersion applications facilitate transmission of sound with superior acoustics performance, deeper immersion protection and enhanced contamination resistance. Gore can tailor this material around the desired functionality to repel water, sweat, cleaning solutions and low surface tension liquids like detergent and oils without sacrificing acoustic performance.

GORE^® Portable Electronic Vents provide an effective barrier against liquids, dust and dirt while equalizing pressure and minimizing transmission loss and attenuation in sealed acoustic devices. To maximize the performance of the vent for the lifetime of your product...

Speakers and receivers have larger apertures, so water, fluids and particles can enter more easily. Additionally, their permanent magnets attract metal particles that can accumulate on top of the speaker. The increasing mass and weight of these particles limits the sound pressure the diaphragm can produce, significantly degrading sound quality. GORE^® Acoustic Vents for Industrial Applications protect against this type of acoustic deterioration.

GORE® Acoustic Vents for Industrial Applications combine the latest technological advancements with more than 30 years of acoustic science expertise to provide venting solutions for varied industrial applications with sound monitoring or voice-control features. Our newest vents, Series 400 for Superior Fluids & Dust Protection, reduce insertion loss to provide enhanced acoustic quality. At the same time, they deliver Gore’s highest level of protection against water, other fluids and particles that could degrade device reliability and longevity.

The current methods used by manufacturers to protect MEMS microphones can cause performance degradation, significant yield losses and higher manufacturing costs. With GORE^® MEMS Protective Vent Style 200, industry-leading protection and acoustic performance can be installed without any special handling during circuit board assembly.
