MQ5 LPG Natural Gas Sensor

MQ5 LPG Natural Gas Sensor The MQ-5 Gas Sensor is a semiconductor gas sensor designed to detect LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), natural gas (methane), and other combustible gases in the air. It uses a tin dioxide (SnO?) sensing material whose electrical resistance changes in the presence of these gases. The sensor requires a heater to reach its optimal operating temperature and provides an analog output that varies with gas concentration. It is widely used in basic gas detection systems, safety monitors, and embedded electronics projects.Click here to view related productsFeaturesSensitive to LPG, natural gas (methane), and other combustible gasesHigh sensitivity to target gasesProvides an analog output corresponding to gas concentrationRequires a heater for stable operationSimple to interface with microcontrollers (ADC input required)Compact size suitable for prototyping and embedded designsLong service life and low costApplicationsLPG or natural gas leak detection in kitchens, homes, and storage areasGas leak alarm systems and safety monitoringPortable gas detector devicesEnvironmental air quality sensingIndustrial combustible gas detection systemsSmart home automation gas alertsEducational and hobbyist electronics projectsEmbedded IoT gas sensing applications*Product image for illustration purposes only, actual product may vary.
