W. L. Gore & Associates has expanded its line of protective vents with a new product specifically engineered to increase the reliability of outdoor electronic enclosures that are commonly exposed to changing weather and environmental conditions.
The Series VE9 adhesive vent enables outdoor enclosures to be designed with normal seals and gaskets without the need to upgrade to more costly ruggedised seals and gaskets. This provides cost savings, combined with longer product life, for manufacturers of outdoor electronic enclosures used in the solar, telecommunications, exterior lighting and smart meter industries.
Integrating VE9 into an enclosure is easy, thanks to the durable adhesive and all ePTFE construction that allows the vent to be mounted on either the interior or exterior of the housing, depending on protection rating needs. The vents are offered in various sizes.
Combined with Gore’s UL-listed ePTFE membrane, the vent offers a typical airflow of 1150 ml/min/cm². This allows for fast equalisation of pressure caused by sudden temperature changes, while still meeting industry standards. In addition to high airflow, it is robust enough to withstand water, dust, dirt, rain and other harmful liquids which often cause problems for non-vented outdoor enclosures.
