As industries evolve toward smarter, smaller, and more connected technologies, enclosures are facing new challenges. Design engineers are under pressure to deliver lighter, thinner, and safer enclosures that protect sensitive electronics from harsh environments while still meeting demanding performance standards.

This shift is transforming how gaskets and seals are designed and what materials are being used across key markets such as electric vehicles (EVs), medical devices, energy storage systems (ESS), and data centers.

Check out the extended blog on the Rogers website, The Future of Sealing: How Tomorrow's Applications Are Changing, and the video below to see where enclosures are heading and what will be necessary by the teams designing these enclosures.

Effective venting is one of the most important yet overlooked aspects of enclosure design. Whether protecting sensitive electronics, automotive components, or sensor systems, proper venting ensures reliability, safety, and long-term performance. By understanding the role of a vent, how venting solution works, why they're necessary, and how to choose the right materials and designs, engineers can create enclosures that maintain functionality even in harsh environments.

IP Rated Enclosures: Venting Solutions

Sensors, controllers, and other electronic elements are being integrated into devices across virtually every industry. Many of these products are made for use in conditions where they may be exposed to extreme temperatures, rain, wind, dust, and moisture. (See application story about "smart" shipping pallets linked at the bottom of this post.) Designing such products requires that the container or enclosure holding the electronic components be completely sealed. Exposure to harsh elements could cause a product failure.
