Etched Sensor & Headlamp Vent Mesh is used for letting automotive headlamps, ECUs, cameras and LiDAR housings breathe through etched vent meshes that block debris and support a waterproof membrane. Photo-chemical machining to drawing (ISO 2768-f) is the reference cited for it on drawings, datasheets and purchase orders.
What Photo-chemical machining to drawing (ISO 2768-f) Means for Etched Sensor & Headlamp Vent Mesh
The dimensions in the table below are supplied to suit Photo-chemical machining to drawing (ISO 2768-f). Where the standard sets requirements for the finished appliance, device or system, compliance testing of that assembly stays with its manufacturer; we supply the metal mesh part to the drawing and can provide material certificates and dimensional reports with the shipment.

Specifying Etched Sensor & Headlamp Vent Mesh Beyond the Standard
- Size: Round Ø6–10 mm or rectangular patches to the housing port.
- Holes: 0.05–0.08 mm etched holes protect the membrane from stone and jet damage.
- Stack: Bond over an ePTFE membrane for IP67/IP69K performance.
When Etched Sensor & Headlamp Vent Mesh Is Not the Right Choice
Not waterproof on its own; the membrane provides the seal.
