Zhengzhou Winsen Electronics Technology Co., Ltd MQ-6 Semiconductor Sensor for Flammable Gas Profile Sensitive material of MQ-6 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-6 gas sensor has high sensitivity to butane, propane, methane and can detect methane and propane at the same time. It also can detect kinds of flammable gases, especially...

Zhengzhou Winsen Electronics Technology Co., Ltd Basic Circuit Fig2. MQ-5 Test Circuit Instructions: The above fig is the basic test circuit of MQ-6.The sensor requires two voltage inputs: heater voltage (VH) and circuit voltage (VC). VH is used to supply standard working temperature to the sensor and it can adopt DC or AC power, while VRL is the voltage of load resistance RL which is in series with sensor. Vc supplies the detect voltage to load resistance RL and it should adopt DC power. The sensor resistance (Rs) can be calculated as follows: Rs=(Vc/VRL-1)×RL； The power consumption of sensitive...

Zhengzhou Winsen Electronics Technology Co., Ltd Fig5 shows the VRL in propane with different concentration. Fig5 shows the changing of VRL in the process of The resistance load RL is 4.7 KΩ and the test is finished in putting the sensor into target gas and removing it out. standard test conditions. Time(day) Fig7.long-term Stability Test is finished in standard test conditions, the abscissa is observing time and the ordinate is VRL. Cautions 1 .Following conditions must be prohibited 1.1 Exposed to organic silicon steam Sensing material will lose sensitivity and never recover if the sensor absorbs...

Zhengzhou Winsen Electronics Technology Co., Ltd especially brine, or be exposed to halogen such as fluorine. 1.4 Touch water Sensitivity of the sensors will be reduced when spattered or dipped in water. 1.5 Freezing Do avoid icing on sensor’s surface, otherwise sensing material will be broken and lost sensitivity. 1.6 Applied higher voltage Applied voltage on sensor should not be higher than stipulated value, even if the sensor is not physically damaged or broken, it causes down-line or heater damaged, and bring on sensors’ sensitivity characteristic changed badly. 1.7 Voltage on wrong pins...
