MEMS pressure vents have many advantages that can drastically improve the quality and reliability of an electronic device. The main advantage is that they reduce damage from pressure. These vents enable regulated gas exchange whereby excessive pressures are not allowed to build up that would deform housing or cause seals from failing. This matters most in portable devices that regularly encounter altitude or temperature fluctuations.

Yet another procurable benefit is offer to prolong device life. MEMS pressure vents counteract these adverse effects by keeping pressure equilibrium, which minimizes the mechanical stress at housing and seals of the device leading to a longer operational lifetime. It requires this reliability for devices which need to work under difficult conditions or for longer periods.
