Where Etched Sensor & Headlamp Vent Mesh Is Used

  • Automotive lighting: headlamp and tail-lamp breather vents that prevent fogging.
  • Vehicle electronics: ECU, inverter and sensor housings.
  • ADAS sensors: camera and LiDAR housing vents.
  • EV components: charge-port and battery junction-box vents.

How to Specify Etched Sensor & Headlamp Vent Mesh

  • 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.

Materials

Standard supply is stainless steel 304; the material column in the table and the drawing options show the exact grade for each size. Other alloys and finishes can be quoted to your drawing.

Fitting & Care

  • Bond onto a clean, primed surface and press the full adhesive ring.
  • Position vents away from direct high-pressure wash jets where possible.

Common Mistakes

  • Using the mesh without a membrane, so water enters.
  • Low-temperature adhesive that lets go under headlamp heat.

When Etched Sensor & Headlamp Vent Mesh Is Not the Right Choice

Not waterproof on its own; the membrane provides the seal.
