MQ-2B Sensor Gas Sensor CO CO2 Smoke Detecting MQ Sensor DIY for Safety Detection System

Overview The gas sensing material used in the MQ 2B gas sensor is tin dioxide SnO2 with lower conductivity in clean air When there is a flammable gas in the environment where the sensor is located the conductivity of the sensor increases as the concentration of flammable gas in the air increases The change in conductivity can be converted to an output signal corresponding to the gas concentration using a simple circuit The MQ 2B gas sensor is highly sensitive to propane and smoke and is ideal for the detection of natural gas and other flammable vapors This sensor detects multiple flammable gases and is a low cost sensor for a wide range of applications Characteristics This product has good sensitivity to propane smoke etc in a wide concentration range and has the advantages of long life low cost and simple driving circuit Application Widely used in household gas leak alarms industrial combustible gas alarms and portable gas detection instruments Basic Circuit The picture shows the basic test circuit for the MQ 2 sensor The sensor requires two voltages to be applied heater voltage VH and test voltage VC The VH is used to provide a specific operating temperature for the sensor either DC or AC The VRL is the voltage across the load resistor RL of the sensor in series VC is the voltage for testing the load resistor RL and requires a DC power supply   Package Included   1 x MQ 2B Sensor Gas Sensor CO CO2 Smoke Sensor
