    Shielded Equipment-Cooling Fan Guards

    Made of conductive metal, these guards cover fans to block EMI (electromagnetic interference) and RFI (radio frequency interference). The screen also helps keep large debris out of your enclosure and protects fingers from spinning fans.

    Mesh

    Honeycomb

    Mesh—Mesh fan guards work for general purpose shielding.
    Honeycomb—Honeycomb fan guards shield sensitive parts, such as precision measuring equipment. They have high interference reduction at frequency, also known as attenuation, so they block most interference. The beryllium copper gasket seals gaps between the fan guard and your enclosure for additional protection. Do not use in direct contact with acetylene.

    Intake and Exhaust Enclosure Hoods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Enclosure Hoods.
    These hoods keep your enclosure watertight, even around intake and exhaust cutouts. The silicone seal shuts out water and dust, while the slanted top lets water roll off. When used over fans or vents rated IP54 or higher, hoods meet IP56 and NEMA 4X to help protect your electronics from wet and corrosive environments, dust, and washdowns. They also meet American, Canadian, and European safety standards.
    Screw the mounting bracket around your fan or vent, then clip the hood on. Pop it off for cleaning, changing filters, and other maintenance.

    These filters fit over fans with round guards to trap dust and debris, keeping contaminants out of the air and off of your fan. An elastic band holds them securely in place.
    Fan-Front Mount—Fan-front-mount filters fit over the entire front of fans, blocking dust that has entered the fan from blowing back out into the air.
    Fan-Back Mount—Fan-back-mount filters have a center hole, and secure around a fan’s motor housing with a hook and loop closure. They filter air as it enters the fan, protecting the blades and bearings from wear and damage while also reducing the amount of dust the fan will blow out.
    Polyester Plastic Filter—Polyester plastic filters are disposable—replace them when they’re dirty.
    Polypropylene Filter—Polypropylene filters have an electrostatic charge that attracts particles, and can be washed and reused.
    White—Dirt and dust stands out on white filters, so it’s easy to see when they need to be cleaned or replaced.
