A vent assembly (150) is provided for allowing internal contaminants to exit a solenoid (110). The vent assembly includes a vent membrane (210) interposed between a gasket (220) and a support (230). The support may have a variable diameter. The vent assembly attaches to the solenoid via a mating cover (160) of the solenoid, which includes a vent opening (170) that aligns with an opening in the gasket and includes a counter bore that captures the gasket. The vent assembly allows contaminants to exit the solenoid through a vent membrane. It also prevents contaminants from entering the solenoid around the vent membrane without the use of injection molding. |
