GORE® Automotive Vents for Electronics
Electrical and electronic modules (EEMs) are integral to the systems performance of today’s conventional, hybrid and electric vehicles. These sensitive modules must function accurately and reliably for the long term, despite ongoing exposure to harsh operating conditions.
Whether mounted under the hood, or near the undercarriage, EEMs require reliable protection from extremes of temperature and pressure; from water splashes, sprays or deep wading; and from damaging automotive fluids and dust, dirt and road debris.
GORE® Vents reliably withstand these hazards, durably protecting EEMs from damage, degradation or premature failure in harsh or extreme environments.
They effectively block ingress of rain, sleet, snow, dust, dirt and debris. They rapidly and continuously respond to pressure differentials, quickly equalizing over-pressures and vacuums. This protects the integrity and longevity of seals, as well as preventing water and contaminants from being drawn into the module.
What makes GORE Vents so effective?
Our vents benefit from the proprietary GORE™ Membrane. Its microporous structure allows air and gases to pass through freely, so pressures are equalized, and moisture diffused, before problems arise. Yet the pores of this membrane are 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet, so it blocks entry of liquids, as well as fine dust and particulates.
Field-proven, in all regions of the world
Hundreds of millions of GORE Vents are in use in EEMs across global automotive platforms, because they:
Rapidly and continuously equalize over-pressures and vacuums created by environmental changes… whether the vehicle is moving or parked.
Effectively diffuse moisture to avert condensation challenges.
Reliably block water, harsh automotive fluids and particulates from entering housings and damaging electronic components.
