MQ-6 Gas Sensor Module For Propane, Butane, And LPG Detector Module

MQ-6 Gas Sensor Module:

The MQ-6 gas sensor module is a simple and easy-to-use device designed to sense LPG, composed mainly of propane and butane, concentrations in the air. With a sensitivity range from 200 to 10,000ppm, the MQ-6 gas sensor is suitable for a range of applications.

The MQ-6 gas sensor has high sensitivity and fast response times. The sensor’s output is an analog resistance, and the drive circuit is uncomplicated, requiring only a 5V power source to the heater coil, a load resistance, and a connection to an ADC.

The MQ-6 gas sensor employs SnO2 as its sensitive material, which has low conductivity in clean air. As the concentration of target combustible gas increases, the sensor’s conductivity rises correspondingly. By using a simple electro circuit, the change in conductivity can be converted into a corresponding gas concentration output signal.
