  • • Application:Domestic gas leakage alarm, Nature Gas Detection Gas Sensor/ Semiconductor Gas Sensor

We're here to help: Easy ways to get the answers you need.

  • Principle Introduction
Principle Introduction:
Winsen Electronics, manufacture original and new methane gas sensor, nature gas sensor, LNG gas detection sensor with long lifespan and low price.
Sensitive material of MQ-4 gas sensor is SnO2, which with lower conductivity in clean air. When the target flammable gas exist, the sensor’s conductivity gets higher along with the gas concentration rising. Users can convert the change of conductivity to correspond output signal of gas concentration through a simple circuit.
MQ-4 gas sensor has high sensitivity to methane, also has anti-interference to alcohol and other gases.
Applications :
It is widely used in domestic gas leakage alarm, industrial flammable gas alarm and portable gas detector.
Technical parameters :

Tips:For more parameter information, please refer to the latest manual provided by salesman.
