How to Increase Durability and Lifetime of your Sensor Devices
summary
Venting with an ePTFE membrane prevents seal failure by equalizing pressure and so extends device lifetime; simulations show an unvented 100 ml plastic enclosure can reach about -150 mbar during a 65 → 15 °C shock while a small adhesive vent drops that to roughly -22 mbar and a high‑airflow vent approaches zero, shortening equalization time. Vents deliver IP64–IP69K liquid protection, survive broad temperature ranges, resist chemicals, and integrate by screw, snap, adhesive or weld to meet 15+ year lifetimes.
