Gas Detector sensor (MQ-2, MQ-4, MQ-5, MQ-6)

Here are the short and long descriptions for the Gas Detector sensor, optimized for a The MQ-5 Smoke Gas Detector Sensor is a versatile and cost-effective solution for detecting combustible gases such as LPG, methane, and natural gas. Designed for integration into gas leakage detection systems, this sensor is widely used in both industrial and domestic environments.

The sensor features a tin oxide (SnO₂) sensing element that exhibits low conductivity in clean air and increased conductivity when exposed to combustible gases. This change in conductivity is converted into an analog or digital output signal, allowing for easy interfacing with microcontrollers and control systems.

Its sensitivity can be fine-tuned using an onboard potentiometer, and it offers a fast response time and stable performance. The MQ-5 sensor is engineered to minimize interference from alcohol, cooking fumes, and cigarette smoke, ensuring accurate detection of target gases.
