Whether at our VentingXperience event, in customer conversations, or in exchanges with developers and buyers: Our continuously growing PCS HighProtect product group is in high demand. That’s hardly surprising because the requirements for pressure compensation, protection, and traceability have clearly changed in recent years. Electronic in-vehicle components are subject to extremely high stress—moisture, dust, and mechanical influences call for robust solutions and often raise specific questions. Below, experts from Schreiner ProTech provide practical answers to the most frequently asked customer questions about this special Pressure Compensation Seal.

What distinguishes the HighProtect version from other PCS variants?

This PCS product group is tough. Dust, dirt, water, harmful media—and, due to protection class IPX9K, it even resists high-pressure water jets. Only with proper protection can sensitive electronics or control units reliably function.

Do I have some latitude in terms of size?

No doubt about it! We’ve alread implemented several customized solutions in regular production. The unique design offers much greater flexibility than snap-fit or screw versions. Size, adhesive, and shape can be modified without additional tooling costs.

Is it effective and traceable even in the case of small design spaces?

For this use case, our TTR-printable HighProtect variant is ideally suited, combining a label and Pressure Compensation Seal in one product, which naturally reduces your process steps—with a minimal design height of less than 5 millimeters.
