Arcadia Desiccant TA256-1 Immersion-Proof Breather
Cost-Effective, High-Flow Protection for Sealed Enclosures
The TA256-1 is one of Arcadia Desiccant’s most economical immersion-proof breathers. Constructed from durable plastic, it offers a high flow rate relative to its compact size and provides reliable protection against water ingress at immersion depths of up to 2.8 meters (9.2 feet)—equivalent to a 4 PSID water intrusion threshold.
