MQ-5 Liquefied Gas & Coal Gas Sensor Module

Description:

The MQ-5 is a type of gas sensor module designed to detect various combustible gases, including liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), natural gas, and coal gas. It operates on the principle of measuring changes in electrical conductivity when exposed to specific gases.   

Key Features:

• High sensitivity: Effectively detects low concentrations of target gases.   
• Fast response time: Quickly reacts to changes in gas concentration.   
• Simple to use: Requires minimal circuitry for operation.   
• Adjustable sensitivity: Allows for customization of the sensor's response.   
• Compact size: Suitable for integration into various devices.
• Durable: Designed for long-term use.   

Applications:

• Gas leak detection: Monitors for gas leaks in homes, industries, and vehicles.   
• Home security systems: Integrates with security systems to trigger alarms in case of gas leaks.
• Industrial safety systems: Used in industrial settings to detect gas hazards and prevent accidents.   
• Environmental monitoring: Monitors air quality and detects gas pollutants.
• DIY projects: Can be used in various DIY projects, such as gas detectors, air quality monitors, and smart home systems.
