Combustible gas sensor

Product catalog summary
Product Description: The MEMS combustible gas sensor, model S106Y, utilizes a MEMS process to create a high-temperature resistant micro-heat plate on a silicon substrate. It employs a nano-level metal oxide semiconductor material for gas detection. The sensor's conductivity changes with gas concentration, allowing for signal output corresponding to gas levels.
Sensor Characteristics: The sensor features high sensitivity to combustible gases, small size, low power consumption, fast response and recovery times, simple circuitry, good stability, and long life. It is particularly sensitive to propane (0-2000ppm) with a quick response time of approximately 15 seconds and low power consumption of 40-45mW.
Main Applications: The sensor is suitable for gas testing in civil, industrial, and environmental protection sectors, as well as in IoT, wearable devices, and smart home applications.
Technical Specifications: The sensor operates with a heating voltage of 3.5±0.1V DC/AC and a loop voltage of 3.5±0.2V DC. It has an adjustable load resistance and a heater resistance of 85Ω±10Ω at room temperature. The heater power consumption is 40-45mW, and the sensor requires a preheat time of at least 24 hours.
Calibration and Testing: Regular calibration is necessary due to factors like reference resistance differences and environmental conditions. The sensor's air-sensitive resistance R0 is tested under standard conditions (23±5°C, 50±10%RH).
Precautions: Avoid exposure to silicone vapor, highly corrosive environments, alkali and halogen pollution, water immersion, and excessive voltage. Long-term storage without power can cause resistance drift, requiring preheating before use. Avoid extreme environments, frequent vibrations, and strong impacts.
Usage Recommendations: Manual welding is preferred, with specific conditions for wave soldering to prevent degradation of sensor characteristics.

MEMS COMBUSTIBLE GAS SENSOR PN: S106Y Product description The MEMS combustible gas sensor uses a unique MEMS process to make a hightemperature resistant micro-heat plate on a Si-based substrate, and uses a self-developed gassensitive material nano-level metal oxide semiconductor material. When the detected gas exists in the ambient air, the conductivity of the sensor changes. The higher the concentration of the gas, the higher the conductivity of the sensor. Using a simple circuit, the change in conductivity can be converted into an output signal corresponding to the gas concentration. Sensor characteristics This product adopts MEMS technology, solid structure, high sensitivity to combustible gas; it has the advantages of small size, low power consumption, high sensitivity, fast response recovery, simple driving circuit, good stability, long life and so on. Detection gas type: Propane (CH4): 0-2000ppm; Features: ➢ High sensitivity to propane (0-2000ppm) ➢ Quick response (~15Sec.) ➢ Very low power consumption (40~45mW) ➢ Ultra-small size (3.8mm × 3.8mm × 1.5mm) ➢ Long life (~ 5 years) ➢ Long-term stability ➢ Reflow soldering possible ➢ Product anti-smoke, anti-alcohol, anti-silicon Main application: ➢ Gas testing in civil, industrial and environmental protection ➢ Internet of Things, wearable d

1) Warm-up time If the sensor is stored for a long time without power, its resistance will have a reversible drift. Before use, the sensor needs to be preheated to achieve the internal chemical balance. The preheating voltage is consistent with its heating voltage VH. The storage time and corresponding warm-up time are recommended as follows: 1) Sensor calibration The accuracy of the sensor is affected by the difference in reference resistance, sensitivity difference, temperature, humidity, interference gas, aging time and other factors between the sensors. There are nonlinear, hysteresis and...

Precautions 1 Situations that must be avoided 1.1 Exposure to silicone vapor If organic silicon vapor is adsorbed on the surface of the sensor, the sensitive material of the sensor will be wrapped, inhibiting the sensitivity of the sensor, and it is irreversible. The sensor should not be exposed to the place where silicone adhesive, hair spray, silicone rubber, putty or other silicone-containing plastic additives may exist. 1.2 Highly corrosive environment Exposure of the sensor to high-concentration corrosive gases (such as H2S, SOX, Cl2, HCl, etc.) will not only cause corrosion or damage to...

stored for a long time needs to be energized for a long time before use to make it stable. 2.4 Long-term exposure to extreme environments Regardless of whether the sensor is powered on or exposed to extreme conditions for a long time, such as high humidity, high temperature, or high pollution, the performance of the sensor will be seriously affected. 2.5 Frequent vibration and excessive vibration will cause the lead of the sensitive component to resonate and break. The use of pneumatic screwdrivers/ultrasonic welding during transportation and assembly lines can generate such vibrations. 2.6 Shock...
