Abstract
A pressure equalization element for equalizing the pressure of an interior space of a housing, in particular of an electric, motor or gearing housing, of a tank or the like, with respect to an outer side, is specified. The pressure equalization element includes a hole which is formed in a wall of the housing, a diaphragm which is attached on the interior space side in the region of the hole and which closes off the hole with respect to the outer side of the housing in water-tight but air-permeable fashion, and a holding structure which is formed on the housing in the region of the hole and which serves for accommodating an impact guard. The impact guard is connectable, on the outer side of the housing, to the holding structure and protects the diaphragm against mechanical action. A housing having the pressure equalization element is also specified.
