MQ-5 Gas Sensor for LPG CH4 CO Detection

SKU: SEP-15
  • Input Voltage & Power Consumption: DC 5V, 150mA current consumption.
  • Outputs: TTL digital signal (DO) with 0.1V for low and 5V for high, and analog output (AO) from 0.1V to 0.3V, with a maximum voltage of about 4V at peak concentration.
  • Warm-Up Time: Requires a 20-second warm-up for stable readings; heating is normal due to the internal heating wire. Excessive heat may indicate a malfunction.

The MQ-5 gas sensor uses tin dioxide (SnO2) with low conductivity in clean air. It detects combustible gases by measuring changes in conductivity, which increase with gas concentration. This sensor is highly sensitive to butane, propane, and methane, making it ideal for detecting natural gas and other combustible gases.

Features:

  • Sensitive Material: Tin dioxide (SnO2) with low conductivity in clean air.
  • High Sensitivity: Particularly sensitive to butane, propane, methane, and natural gas.
  • Output: Converts conductivity changes into corresponding output signals using a simple circuit.
  • Low-Cost: A cost-effective solution for detecting a variety of combustible gases.

Applications:

The MQ-5 sensor is commonly used for gas leak detection, home safety, and industrial applications involving natural gas, LPG, and methane.
