Plastic Waterproof Breathable Valve (Snap-fit)

Model: PUWKK8.5-3.6

Plastic Breather Vents are essential components designed to protect sensitive devices from environmental hazards while maintaining optimal performance. These vents, often made from durable plastic materials, provide waterproof and breathable solutions that prevent the ingress of dust, moisture, and contaminants while allowing air to flow freely. This helps equalize pressure changes caused by temperature fluctuations or altitude variations, reducing the risk of seal failure and extending the lifespan of electronic components.

How It Works – The Venting Principle

Electronic enclosures often undergo internal pressure fluctuations due to temperature changes or altitude differences. Without proper venting, this can cause:

Seal deformation and water/dust intrusion

Condensation inside enclosures

Reduced reliability of internal components

PUW vents incorporate a microporous PTFE membrane that enables airflow while blocking liquids, dust, and contaminants. This ensures pressure equalization, dry internal conditions, and extended equipment life.

Key Features

High Weather Resistance
UV-resistant and anti-aging materials ensure stable performance in rain, heat, snow, and sunlight.

Robust Structural Design
Reinforced plastic construction withstands vibration, impact, and mechanical stress — ideal for automotive and industrial applications.

Long Service Life
Built for durability and reliability. With advanced sealing technology, PUW vents reduce maintenance needs and equipment failures.

OEM/ODM Customization
Supports customized designs for different thread types, plastic grades, sizes, and logo printing. Adaptable to unique product requirements.

Applications

PUW Plastic Air Vents are trusted across multiple industries where environmental sealing and pressure equalization are critical:

Automotive Electronics

Control modules, battery systems, headlights, ADAS cameras. Protect against pressure buildup, moisture, and road chemicals.

FAQ

1. What are PUW Plastic Air Vents used for?
PUW plastic air vents are designed to protect electronic enclosures from water, dust, pressure buildup, and temperature-related damage. They allow air and gases to pass through while preventing contaminants from entering, ensuring internal components stay dry, balanced, and fully functional.

2. How do PUW vents work?
The vents use a microporous PTFE membrane that equalizes pressure caused by temperature or altitude changes. Air can pass through freely, but water, oil, dust, and other particles are blocked — preventing seal failure, condensation, and internal damage.

3. What industries are these vents suitable for?
PUW vents are widely used in:

Outdoor LED lighting systems

Automotive electronics

Solar photovoltaic equipment

Communication devices

Security cameras and enclosures

General industrial and electrical applications

4. What IP ratings are available?
PUW vents offer IP67, IP68, and IP6K9K protection levels — ensuring excellent water and dust resistance, even in high-pressure wash-down or submerged environments.

5. What is the operating temperature range?

The vents perform reliably in extreme conditions, with an operating temperature range from -40°C to 115°C.

6. Are the vents UV and weather resistant?
Yes. The PC (polycarbonate) body is UV-resistant and anti-aging, making it ideal for long-term outdoor use under sun, rain, or wind.
