Product details
Detailed Specifications
The MQ-2 Gas Sensor utilizes a built-in heating element (SnO2) to accurately detect the concentration of combustible gases and smoke. The onboard potentiometer allows you to easily adjust the sensitivity of the digital output, triggering an immediate response when gas levels cross your defined safety threshold. It is highly durable, offering a long lifespan and stable performance for continuous monitoring.
- Operating Voltage: 5V DC
- Operating Current: ~150mA (due to the internal heater)
- Detectable Gases: LPG, i-butane, propane, methane, alcohol, hydrogen, and smoke
- Sensing Range: 300 to 10,000 ppm (parts per million)
- Output Signal: Analog Output (A0) and Digital Output (D0)
- Preheat Time: >20 seconds (for stable and accurate readings)
- Dimensions: 32 mm x 20 mm x 22 mm
Pinout Configuration:
- VCC: 5V Power Supply
- GND: Ground
- D0: Digital Output (High/Low based on potentiometer threshold)
- A0: Analog Output (Voltage varies with gas concentration)
