Product Overview
The 7Semi MQ-5 LPG C3H8 Flammable Gas Sensor Breakout is engineered for detecting flammable gases such as LPG, propane, and methane, with a detection range of 300 to 10,000 ppm. It offers both analog and digital outputs, facilitating seamless integration with microcontrollers. The sensor features adjustable sensitivity and a rapid response time, making it ideal for applications like gas leakage alarms and industrial gas monitoring systems.
Key Features:
-
Wide Detection Range: Detects CH4, C3H8 (300-10000ppm) and other gases, including H2, LPG, CO, and alcohol.
-
Fast Response Time: High sensitivity for immediate detection and response to gas leaks.
-
Easy Integration: Comes with a 3 Pin 2 mm pitch JST connector for hassle-free connection with microcontroller units.
-
Adjustable Sensitivity: Potentiometer allows you to adjust the sensor sensitivity for customized detection thresholds.
-
Analog and Digital Outputs: Provides both analog output for precise readings and digital output for easy interfacing with microcontrollers.
-
Compact and Reliable: Ideal for use in home safety systems, industrial gas monitoring, and automated detection systems.
Note:
The sensor value only reflects the approximated trend of gas concentration in a permissible error range, it DOES NOT represent the exact gas concentration. The detection of certain components in the air usually requires a more precise and costly instrument, which cannot be done with a single gas sensor. If your project is aimed at obtaining the gas concentration at a very precise level, then we do not recommend this gas sensor.
