GORE Snap-In Series Protective Vents For Solar Energy Systems

Manufacturer: Gore (日本ゴア)
Made in Japan
Model: Snap-In Series

Overview of Snap-In Series

Gore’s hydrophobic and oleophobic snap-in vents provide the robust performance and durable protection that can improve the safety, reliability and service life of your sealed outdoor electronic devices. Even in the harshest environments, our vents:

Rapidly and responsively equalize pressure differentials, reducing seal stress in sealed enclosures through bi-directional air exchange that also reduces condensation.
Reliably keep solid and liquid contaminants from entering the enclosure, to protect sensitive electronics. This durable protection persists even after the vent has been immersed in liquid.

These sturdy snap-in breather vents are engineered for fast, easy installation on any production line: automated, semi-automated or manual. The snap-fit design is engineered to automatically seat and securely seal the vent to the housing, for reliable venting performance across a broad range of challenging applications:

The Gore Snap-In Vent Series Difference

Gore’s Snap-In Series portfolio includes four performance options engineered to satisfy a wide range of application requirements, housing materials and enclosure volumes. All GORE Protective Vents for snap-in vent installation include our proprietary GORE Membrane of 100% ePTFE, in either all-membrane or laminate constructions. Our portfolio also offers you the choice of either hydrophobic-only, or oleophobic-and-hydrophobic, protection.

Every Snap-In Series vent undergoes in-line quality inspection at Gore before they are shipped. Most are individually laser-marked, to provide full product traceability.

And of course, the Snap-In Series is backed by Gore’s global technical support personnel and facilities that ensure you can count on our promise: Our products will do what we say they will do.
