π Product Overview
The MQ-6 Gas Sensor Module is a smart detection module crafted to sense liquefied petroleum gases (LPG), propane, and butane with ease. It provides both analog and digital outputs, letting you integrate gas-detection capabilities directly into your electronic or IoT systems.
π Why Itβs Ideal for Your Projects
-
High sensitivity to LPG and propane β Tailored for combustible gas detection (especially LPG mixtures), making it perfect for safety, monitoring, or automation systems.
-
Dual output design β With an analog output (proportional to gas concentration) and a digital (threshold-triggered) output, you can build precise measurement or simple alarm circuits.
-
Microcontroller compatible β Operates on a standard 5 V supply and works easily with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi (with ADC), or any other development board.
π Key Features
-
Detects concentrations in the range of approximately 200 to 10,000 ppm for LPG/propane-type gases.
-
Outputs: Analog voltage (which rises with more gas) and Digital TTL level output (trigger when above threshold).
-
Operating voltage: ~5 V DC; built-in heater to maintain sensor temperature.
-
Quick response and recovery characteristics; durable and suitable for continuous sensing.
-
Simple to connect: load resistance circuit for analog measurement; digital output can trigger microcontroller or buzzer/LED.
π― Typical Applications
-
Home or industrial gas-leak alarms β Detect LPG/propane leaks near cooktops, storage tanks, or piping.
-
Smart automation & IoT safety β Trigger ventilation, shutoff valves, or alerts when gas concentration rises above safe levels.
-
Environmental monitoring systems β Add combustible-gas sensing to your air-quality or safety dashboard.
-
Educational and hobby projects β Ideal for learning sensor integration, analog reading, and alarm logic using popular microcontrollers.
β Why Youβll Love It
If your project needs to monitor for flammable gases like LPG or propane, the MQ-6 module offers a practical, affordable, and straightforward solution. With both analog and digital outputs, compatibility with common microcontrollers, and robust performance, it makes building reliable gas-detection systems both accessible and scalable.
