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.

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 Thermal Insulation is a new thermal management solution that increases the designer’s ability to direct heat by greater control of z-axis thermal conductivity. More control means superior spreading options that enable components to perform at higher levels for longer, accommodate shrinking form factors, and/or meet surface temperature requirements.

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.

Today's portable electronic devices need to stand up to dust and splash hazards that go way beyond commonly used IP standards; which is why Gore testing goes way beyond them too. Our venting materials are tested and qualified to perform to industry standards, but also to additional protocols developed by our engineers that better reflect real-world conditions.

Low-profile, 100% ePTFE vents are designed for automated installation which incorporate heat or ultrasonic welding processes. Ideal for solar energy systems, they provide a robust mechanical bond in conjunction with rapid equalization of pressures.

Multiple testing processes ensure the quality and reliability of Adhesive vents: membrane tests for air flow and water entry pressure, lot testing of finished product dimensions and adhesive bond, and a manual, visual inspection of every part.
