SST-POROUS® Protective Vents for Welding Integration
SST-POROUS® Weldable Vents are low-profile ePTFE membranes designed for automated installation using heat-seal or ultrasonic welding.
They are intended for applications where a welded vent is preferred: high-volume production, limited installation space, high IP protection, and housings exposed to shock or vibration.
Benefits
- Rapid pressure equalization to reduce stress on enclosure seals
- Reduced condensation through continuous air exchange
- Hydrophobic protection against water, dust, and contaminants
- Durable mechanical bond for automated welding lines
- Low-profile design for compact polymer enclosures
Where welded vents are used
Weldable vents provide a robust bond while equalizing pressure inside sealed electronics. They can only be used with enclosures made of polymer materials.
Typical applications include:
- Automotive electronics (ECU, sensors, lighting)
- Outdoor equipment and industrial controls
- EV battery systems and energy storage
- Consumer electronics and telecommunications devices
