Overview
Donaldson snap-fit vents offer reliable protection against dust, dirt, water, oils and more, while maintaining consistent pressure equalization. Available in standard and low-profile sizes, they’re easy to install and built tough with automotive-grade glass-filled PBT plastic. The secure cap won’t separate, giving you robust, worry-free performance even in harsh environments.
Features
- Robust design provides maximum protection from harsh environments
- Hydrophobic vents meet water repellency ratings up to IP69K
- Oleophobic vent meet oil repellency ratings up to 8 per AATCC Spec 118-1992
- Provides dust and liquid protection while equalizing pressure
- Snap-Fit design integrates easily into your device for quick assembly
- Secure vent cap design will not separate from the body during installation or application
- Durable automotive-grade glass-filled PBT plastic provides strength and resistance to harsh environments
Test Specification
- IEC 60068-2-11:2021 Salt Spray Resistance - 672 hours at elevated temperature and pressure
- MIL-STD-202G: Mechanical Vibration - Fatigue resistance
- ISO 20653: Environmental Protection - IP rating against dust and water ingress – IP6KX, IPX7 and IPX9k
- Temperature Resistance: -40° C to 125° or 150° C / -40° F to 257° or 302° F, 500 cycles – IEC 60068-2-14 and IEC 60068-2-78
- Durability in extreme conditions: Protection against water shock (environment at 120°C / 248°F, water below 4°C / 39°F) and humid environment exposition with salt spray – ISO 16750-4 and IEC 60068-2-52
Handling & Specification
- Clean mounting surface and area where Snap-Fit vent will be installed to remove any contamination. Allow surface to dry after cleaning.
- Ideal location for installation is on a flat, vertical surface on an exterior housing wall. This location will prevent any liquids from collecting.
- Chamfer recommended for optimal O-Ring seal when wall thickness is suitable.
- Push Snap-Fit vent in until you hear a click. This will ensure proper seal.
