Amphenol LTW M12 IP68/IP69K Pressure Relief Vent – VENT-PS1YGY-N8001

The Amphenol LTW VENT-PS1YGY-N8001 is a pressure relief vent designed to equalize internal and external pressure in electrical enclosures, electronic equipment and other sealed compartments.

Temperature changes can create pressure differences inside equipment, placing additional stress on seals and potentially allowing moisture to enter. Its hydrophobic ePTFE membrane provides controlled airflow, helping to reduce pressure differences while maintaining protection against water and dust.

The vent features a grey plastic body, an M12 × 1.5 threaded mounting system and is supplied with a nut for panel installation. Its IP68/IP69K protection makes it suitable for demanding outdoor and industrial environments, including installations exposed to water, dust and high-pressure cleaning.

Important note

This version uses a hydrophobic membrane, providing resistance to water but not specifically to oils. An oleophobic membrane version should be selected for environments exposed to oil or other contaminating liquids.

The stated IP protection depends on correct installation, panel preparation and sealing. The M12 × 1.5 thread and appropriate tightening requirements must be observed to prevent damage to the plastic body or membrane.
