Thesespecialized acoustic vents have many benefits that render them important in modern day electronics design. Most importantly, they offer unrivaled fluid and micro-particle protection. The test protocols for which creators like GORE target to recalculate protection against dust, water and other destructive contributors to the life-cycle of instruments far exceed whatever exists in the trade. It is crucial for maintaining functionality and also increasing the lifespan — but especially not in a clean, well-protected environment. [Related: Why Battery Safety is So Important] It requires proper airflow to kick out the microscopic debris and allow sensitive elements to work as they should for a long time. MEMS designers look at several protective mechanisms to protect circuitry and sensors from external contaminants.
