MQ6 LPG Propane Gas Sensor

Description

The MQ-6 Gas Sensor Module runs on a 5V DC power supply and can detect gases in the range of 200-10000 ppm, providing a cost-effective gas detection solution. Its main focus is on detecting LPG, like propane and butane, and it is recognized for its user-friendly design. The detection range can be easily adjusted using a potentiometer, ensuring high sensitivity and a quick response.

The sensor’s conductive material, tin oxide (SnO2), shows higher conductivity as the concentration of combustible gases increases, resulting in an analog resistance output. This module is versatile and compatible with a variety of platforms such as microcontrollers, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi, allowing for diverse applications. Its uses encompass everything from gas leak detection to fire safety systems, establishing the MQ-6 Gas Sensor Module as a dependable and effective gas detection tool.
