Abstract: A venting unit for a housing has a base body to be connected fluid-tightly to a rim of a housing opening. The base body has a gas passage opening closed by a membrane that spans areally across the gas passage opening transversely to an axial direction. An actor is operatively connected to the base body and has an emergency venting spike extending axially toward the membrane. The emergency venting spike has a tip or a cutting edge arranged, in a state of rest, at a predetermined distance from a membrane surface of the membrane and can move toward the membrane when the actor is actuated so that tip or cutting edge punctures the membrane. A cover arranged at an outer side of the base body covers the gas passage opening. A fastening mechanism connects cover and base body. The actor has an actuation element for releasing the fastening mechanism.

Abstract: A pressure equalization device for a housing has a base body and a closure element with a flow path between them being open in a normal operating state of the pressure equalization device. A flow opening in the flow path is spanned by a membrane. An emergency venting spike projects from the closure element toward the membrane. The pressure equalization device transitions after emergency venting into an emergency operating state in which the closure element gas-tightly closes the base body. A housing with such a pressure equalization device is provided. In a method for pressure equalization with such a pressure equalization device between a housing interior and an environment, gas exchange between interior and environment is performed through the membrane and the flow path between closure element and base body. During emergency venting, the membrane is destroyed by the emergency venting spike. The closure element then closes the base body.

Abstract: A degassing unit for an electronics housing has a base body with gas passage opening and is connectable fluid-tightly to a rim of a pressure compensation opening of the electronics housing. A semipermeable membrane for covering the pressure compensation opening enables passage of gaseous media from an environment into the electronics housing interior and vice versa but prevents passage of liquids and solids. A membrane support device, arranged at an interior side of the base body facing the electronics housing interior, engages across the gas passage opening and is positioned at a first distance to the semipermeable membrane. A separation lattice with lattice openings is arranged at the interior side of the base body at a second larger distance to the semipermeable membrane and completely engages across the gas passage opening.

Abstract: A degassing unit to be connected fluid-tightly to a pressure compensation opening of an electronics housing has a base body with gas passage opening. A semipermeable membrane, fastened fluid-tightly to a membrane carrier, allows gaseous media to pass from an environment into the electronics housing and in reverse but prevents passage of liquid media and solids. In normal operation, the membrane covers the gas passage opening. An axial seal circumferentially extends about the gas passage opening. The membrane carrier is moveable relative to the base body and, in normal operation, is pressed by axial force seal-tightly against the axial seal. The membrane carrier, when a predetermined pressure difference between housing interior and environment is surpassed, lifts off the base body to release an emergency degassing opening surrounding the membrane. The axial seal is a lip seal and made of a material softer than a material of the membrane carrier.
