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.

Check out the extended blog on the Rogers website, How To Design Effective Enclosure Vents: Balancing Pressure, Moisture, and Protection, and the video below.

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.
