7Semi MiCS5524 CO, Alcohol, and VOC MEMS Gas Sensor Breakout: Reliable Gas Detection for Experiments and Air Quality Monitoring

Enhance gas detection capabilities with the 7Semi MiCS5524 CO, Alcohol, and VOC MEMS Gas Sensor Breakout, designed for precise measurement of various gases, including carbon monoxide (CO), ethanol (C2H5OH), hydrogen (H2), methane (CH4), and ammonia (NH3). This compact and high-precision sensor, powered by MEMS technology, delivers accurate results, making it an excellent choice for air quality assessments, gas leakage detection, and educational research projects.

With seamless integration options, this breakout board features a 4-pin 2mm pitch JST connector, allowing hassle-free connection to microcontrollers. Supporting both analog and I2C digital outputs, it is compatible with a wide range of 4.9V to 5.1V master controllers. The low-power design includes an enable/disable function to optimize energy consumption. While ideal for experimentation and learning purposes, this sensor requires calibration for accurate readings and is not intended for medical or safety-critical applications.

Key Features and Benefits
