The recent growth of intelligent IoT devices highlights the need for advanced protection in electronics. Consumer wearable devices (e.g., smartwatches, fitness trackers, etc.) utilize cutting-edge barometric, temperature and altitude sensors, and worker safety is often enhanced by advanced industrial sensors. These technologies, and others, require a high level of ingress protection from a wide variety of gasses, moisture and chemicals.
