Why Choose the Finder 7F.03.0.000.4000 Outdoor Exhaust Filter?
The Finder 7F.03.0.000.4000 is a Size 4 outdoor exhaust filter designed to support effective ventilation and dust protection in industrial electrical cabinets, switchboards and control enclosures. Part of the Finder 7F Series, this passive ventilation component provides a filtered air outlet for compatible enclosure cooling systems, helping maintain airflow while limiting the entry of airborne contaminants.
Designed for a 223 × 223 mm enclosure cut-out, the Finder 7F.03.0.000.4000 features a light grey RAL 7035 flame-retardant plastic housing and an easily replaceable synthetic-fibre filter mat. Its IP54 ingress protection, IK08 impact resistance and outdoor-use design make it suitable for appropriately configured industrial enclosure ventilation systems.
The included G3 filter mat provides coarse particulate filtration, with a specified filtering degree of 80–90% under the applicable EN 779 classification. The filter is also classified as ISO coarse 55% according to ISO 16890. With compact external dimensions of 255 × 255 × 36.5 mm, the unit offers a practical solution for industrial cabinet ventilation and maintenance.

Passive Exhaust Ventilation and Dust Filtration for Outdoor Electrical Cabinets
The Finder 7F.03.0.000.4000 provides a filtered ventilation opening in an electrical enclosure. When used with an appropriately sized filter fan, it allows air to pass through the enclosure ventilation system while the synthetic-fibre mat captures a proportion of airborne dust and larger particles. This helps support controlled airflow around heat-generating electrical and electronic components.
Unlike a powered filter fan, the 7F.03.0.000.4000 is a passive exhaust filter and does not contain an electric motor or fan impeller. It is designed to work as part of a complete ventilation arrangement, with the filter fan supplying the necessary airflow. Finder recommends matching the exhaust filter size to the associated filter fan for effective cabinet ventilation.
The outdoor-design housing provides IP54 ingress protection and IK08 impact resistance when installed in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements. Its removable synthetic-fibre filter mat simplifies routine servicing. Regular inspection and replacement of contaminated filter media help maintain airflow and reduce the risk of excessive enclosure temperatures.
Typical Applications
- Outdoor industrial electrical cabinets.
- Switchboards and electrical distribution enclosures.
- Industrial automation control panels.
- PLC and electronic equipment cabinets.
- Outdoor machinery control enclosures.
- Industrial process control systems.
- Electrical cabinets containing heat-generating components.
- Manufacturing and production equipment enclosures.
- Industrial instrumentation and monitoring cabinets.
- OEM equipment requiring filtered cabinet ventilation.
- Enclosure cooling systems using compatible Finder Size 4 filter fans.
- Preventative maintenance and replacement of existing enclosure exhaust filters.
