Specifications

Microvent® Automotive Vent Bolt is UL and RoHS approved .

Humidity sensor performance is dependent upon vent performance. Consistently high airflow and moisture vapor transmission rates are essential if sensors are to respond quickly to changes in ambient conditions. Rapid pressure equalization is essential for maintaining accurate readings and for preventing sensor failure that can cascade to component or system failure. High-airflow Microvent^® Automotive Vents facilitate rapid response in humidity sensors for higher performance and customer satisfaction

Problems Solved

All types of electronic enclosures that are used outdoors are subjected to temperature fluctuations, wind, precipitation, and solar radiation. These environmental conditions can compromise the performance of the device. Most often, robust seals are used in the housing design to protect the sensitive electronics inside. However, sudden temperature changes can cause a vacuum inside the enclosure. Maintaining equalized pressure within a device is a key contributor to prolonged life and performance.

Microvent ® Protective Vents protect the integrity of the electronics by allowing air and moisture vapor to flow freely into and out of sealed enclosures. At the same time, they serve as a barrier to prevent contaminants such as dirt, dust and sand from entering the enclosure.
