A Membrane Vent allows for the differential pressure/vacuum across an equipment or instrument to be managed. This in turn reduces the risk of damage or failure when subjected to temperature, altitude & barometric pressure changes.
Using hydrophobic membrane technology this can allow for the free passage of air whilst preventing the passage of liquid water.
Membrane Vents are ideal for applications such lighting enclosures, sealed key-pads, pressure sensitive devices & applications which may require venting due to outgassing.
Standard Vents are available in the following threads:
M3x0.5, M5x0.8, M6x1, M8x1.25, M10x1, M12x1.5
Example M3 breather shown below:
