Abstract
A key fob with a pressure-managing diaphragm for an air-tight volume inside the fob comprises a housing that is made up of two portions or sections. At least one portion of the housing has an opening into the air-tight volume. The opening is covered by a flexible diaphragm, which flexes inwardly and outwardly responsive to pressure changes. The diaphragm is protected from damage by a shield extending over it.
