    SST-POROUS® Screw-in Vents

    SST-POROUS® Screw-in Vents protect the reliability and service life of sealed outdoor electronic devices in harsh environments. A threaded vent and sealing ring provide secure installation and long-term pressure equalization.

    Key Features

    • Rapid pressure equalization: Bidirectional airflow reduces seal stress and helps limit condensation
    • Contamination barrier: Blocks solid and liquid ingress, even after immersion
    • Mechanical stability: Threaded installation stays secured in housings exposed to vibration and outdoor use
    • Easy installation: Low-profile screw-in design for tight spaces and standard threaded ports
    • Protection options: IP67 / IP68 / IP69K depending on series and housing design

    Typical Applications

    • Battery enclosures
    • Sensors and industrial controls
    • Heavy-duty equipment
    • Lighting enclosures
    • Solar energy systems
    • Telecommunications equipment

    Easy to install

    Suitable for many occasions
    AutomotiveAutomotive Electronics

    Main Applications:

    • Vehicle Lighting Systems (Headlamps, Taillamps, Fog Lamps, etc.)
    • Powertrain Systems and Motor Controllers
    • New Energy Vehicle Battery Packs and Controllers
    • Electronic Control Units (ECU) and Sensors
    • Autonomous Driving Hardware (Radar, Cameras)

    Challenges & Solutions Automotive electronic devices, especially in engine compartments or under high-vibration conditions, face extreme temperature fluctuations, high pressure differentials, oil contamination, and harsh road environments, which can lead to seal failure, condensation, and reduced component lifespan.

    Spider Screw-in Vent utilizes high-performance ePTFE microporous membrane with a robust threaded structure. It provides reliable pressure equalization, excellent waterproof and dustproof protection up to IP67/IP68/IP69K levels, and strong mechanical fixation. The screw-in design ensures secure installation in high-vibration environments, reduces reliance on complex sealing structures, and lowers overall costs. Custom thread sizes, shapes, and breathability rates are available.

    Main Applications:

    • Outdoor Lighting (Street Lights, Tunnel Lights, Garden Lights, High Pole Lights)
    • Photovoltaic Inverters
    • Communication Base Stations (5G/4G)
    • Security Monitoring Cameras
    • Outdoor Sensors and Intelligent Electric Bicycle Systems

    Challenges & Solutions Outdoor electronic devices endure long-term exposure to rain, dust, salt spray, strong winds, and drastic temperature changes, often resulting in internal pressure buildup, seal aging, condensation, and premature equipment failure.

    Spider Screw-in Vent employs high-performance ePTFE microporous membrane and a durable threaded body. It rapidly balances internal and external pressure, effectively prevents water and dust ingress, and achieves IP67/IP68/IP69K protection. The screw-in installation offers strong fixation and easy maintenance, simplifying enclosure design, reducing weight and cost, while enhancing long-term reliability. Customization in dimensions and performance is supported.

    Main Applications:

    • Industrial Control Equipment
    • Outdoor Power Cabinets and Distribution Boxes
    • Agricultural and Construction Machinery Electronics
    • Marine and Port Equipment

    Challenges & Solutions Industrial and harsh-environment equipment faces vibration, heavy dust, high-pressure water spray, and extreme weather, leading to frequent sealing failures and high maintenance costs.

    Spider Screw-in Vent features a rugged screw-in design combined with ePTFE membrane, delivering superior pressure balancing, high waterproof/dustproof performance (IP67/IP68/IP69K), and excellent vibration resistance. Its robust mechanical connection ensures reliable long-term protection, reduces enclosure complexity, and helps lower total ownership costs. Fully customizable solutions are available.
