Abstract
A portable electronic device can include a housing at least partially defining an internal volume. The device can include a venting module including a membrane, a porous member, and a support structure. The membrane and porous member can define a fluid path extending a width of the porous member and placing the internal volume in fluid communication with an ambient environment adjacent the housing. The support structure can be coupled to the porous member.
