MQ-6 LPG & Propane Gas Sensor Module
Build highly sensitive gas leak detectors with the MQ-6 Gas Sensor Module. This sensor is specifically engineered for the reliable detection of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Propane, making it an excellent choice for safety applications in homes, RVs, and industrial environments.
The MQ-6 offers high sensitivity and a fast response time to the presence of LPG and Propane. This easy-to-use breakout board includes all the necessary circuitry to get your project running quickly. It features a versatile dual-output system: an **Analog Output (A0)** that gives a continuous voltage reading proportional to the gas concentration, and a **Digital Output (D0)** which acts as a simple alarm, going HIGH when the gas level surpasses a set threshold.
This trigger threshold can be precisely calibrated using the onboard potentiometer, allowing you to customize the sensor’s sensitivity to your project’s needs. For any application requiring dependable LPG or Propane detection, the MQ-6 is a top-tier choice.
Key Features:
- Sensor Model: MQ-6
- Primary Detection: High sensitivity to LPG and Propane; also detects Butane
- Dual Output: Provides both Analog (voltage) and Digital (HIGH/LOW) signals
- Adjustable Sensitivity: Onboard potentiometer to configure the digital alarm threshold
- Operating Voltage: 5V DC
- Interface: 4-pin header (VCC, GND, D0, A0) for simple connection
- Stable and Reliable: Designed for long life and consistent performance
Applications:
The MQ-6 sensor is ideal for creating domestic gas leak alarms (especially for cooking gas), industrial combustible gas detectors, portable gas monitoring devices, and safety systems for environments where LPG or Propane are stored or used.
