Vent for portables offers high airflow, water protection

PE3 vents for portable electronics are said to deliver the highest airflow of black venting solutions for OEMs while providing immersion protection. The level of airflow lets OEMs use a smaller vent to improve product integrity and reliability.

While providing a typical airflow of 3,300 ml/min/cm³ , the vents enable devices to meet Level 7 of the IEC’s liquid ingress protection standard (IPx7) — immersion protection at 1 m for 30 minutes. When mounted on the exterior of dark electronic devices, the vent’s black oleophobic membrane and gray PET nonwoven backing also minimize contrast.
