MQ-6 Gas Sensor Module

Description

MQ6 Gas sensor is a Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) type Gas Sensor mostly used to detect the LPG and Butane gas concentration in the air either at home or in industry. This sensor has a detecting element made primarily of ceramic with an aluminum-oxide base and a tin dioxide coating that is encased in a stainless steel mesh. Its sensing range is very suitable for gas leak detection in homes and places like hotels, restaurants where cooking is done using LPG cylinders. This is a very easy to use low cost semiconductor Gas sensor Module with analog and digital output. This module makes it simple to connect a MQ6 LPG gas sensor to an Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or other microcontroller. Its made in India Origin.

Features:

• Very high sensitivity to LPG , iso-butane and propane
• Operating Voltage is +5V DC
• Small sensivity to smoke and alcohol
• Analog output Voltage is 0 to 5V
• Digital output Voltage is 0 to 5V (TTL Logic)
• With potentiometers, the digital pin's sensitivity can be adjusted.
• Quick response
• Simple drive circuit
• It has 4 pins  and 4 holes for mounting
