Gas Sensors

This semiconductor gas sensor detects the presence of LPG, isobutane, and propane at concentrations from 300 to 10,000 ppm. The sensor’s simple analog voltage interface requires only one analog input pin from your microcontroller.

This carrier board is designed to work with any of the MQ-series gas sensors, simplifying the interface from 6 to 3 pins—ground, power and analog voltage output—that are broken out with a 0.1" spacing, making the board compatible with 0.1" headers and standard breadboards and perfboards. This board has two mounting holes and provides convenient pads for mounting the gas sensor’s required sensitivity-setting resistor.
