A Case Study on GORE® Acoustic Vents: Learn how our regional tech support and localized processes helped a Chinese Smartphone OEM to implement a venting solution that fits their extremely high quality and durability demands in only 2 Weeks.

The new GORE^® Pressure Vents product model 13 offers nearly double the airflow of product model PE12 effectively minimizing speaker and receiver distortion caused by transducer bias.

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.

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...

The new GORE® Acoustic Vents Product Model GAW342 lets you take your mobile devices to the next level with greater contamination protection and deeper immersion capabilities while maintaining excellent acoustic performance and consistency.

Electronic devices with audio components must include openings in their housings to enable sound waves to be transmitted. Having a durably rugged housing for your portable electronic device protects the internal electronics from environmental contaminants. The International Standard IEC 60529 defines specific levels of protection for enclosures with electronic voltage not exceeding 72.5 kilovolts. The requirements outlined in the IEC 60529 standard do not adequately provide consistent testing of the protective vents needed for portable electronic devices. W. L.
