Why Choose the Finder 7F.03.0.000.4000.7 Outdoor Exhaust Filter?
The Finder 7F.03.0.000.4000.7 is a Size 4 outdoor exhaust filter in light grey RAL 7035, designed for ventilation systems in industrial electrical cabinets, switchboards and automation control enclosures. Part of the Finder 7F Series, this passive ventilation component provides a filtered air outlet to support effective airflow while helping protect electrical equipment from airborne dust and contaminants.
Designed for a 223 × 223 mm enclosure cut-out, the Finder 7F.03.0.000.4000.7 features a flame-retardant plastic housing, a replaceable synthetic-fibre filter mat and a low-profile construction that minimises the space required within the electrical enclosure.
With IP54 ingress protection, IK08 impact resistance and a specified ambient operating temperature range of −30 to +55 °C, this outdoor exhaust filter is suitable for appropriately designed industrial ventilation installations. Its included G3 filter mat, also classified as ISO coarse 55%, provides coarse particulate filtration while allowing air to pass through the cabinet ventilation system.

Filtered Exhaust Ventilation for Outdoor Electrical Enclosures
The Finder 7F.03.0.000.4000.7 provides a passive, filtered ventilation opening for an electrical enclosure. When installed with an appropriately selected filter fan, it allows air to pass through the cabinet ventilation system while its synthetic-fibre filter mat captures coarse airborne particles. This helps support ventilation around heat-generating electrical and electronic components.
Unlike a powered filter fan, the 7F.03.0.000.4000.7 contains no motor or fan impeller. Airflow is generated by the associated ventilation equipment, making correct fan selection and enclosure airflow design important for effective cooling. Finder recommends matching the exhaust filter size to the filter fan size to achieve suitable ventilation performance.
The outdoor-design housing combines IP54 ingress protection and IK08 mechanical impact resistance. Its light grey RAL 7035 finish provides a consistent appearance with compatible industrial electrical enclosures, while the replaceable filter mat simplifies maintenance. Regular inspection and replacement of contaminated filter media help maintain airflow and reduce the risk of restricted ventilation.
