Product information "seeed Grove - Gas Sensor (MQ5)"

Seeed Grove - Gas Sensor (MQ5)
The Grove - Gas Sensor (MQ5) is used to detect combustible gases such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), natural gas or town gas and is suitable for applications in the field of gas leak detection in domestic or industrial environments. The sensor is based on the MQ5 gas detector and offers a fast response time and high sensitivity. The sensitivity can be adjusted via an integrated potentiometer.

The sensor detects various flammable gases and outputs the corresponding measured values via the Grove-compatible interface. The values can be analysed using a microcontroller or a development platform such as Arduino. The sensor is designed for stable long-term use. Stable measurement performance over a longer period of time is guaranteed by the internal design.

The module is suitable for use in safety-critical projects where rapid detection of flammable gases is required. It can be installed in room monitoring systems, gas detectors or industrial control systems. Thanks to its compact design and simple Grove interface, the sensor can be integrated directly into existing systems.

The product enables the continuous detection of gas concentrations in the air and reports increased values via the digital or analogue output interface. The adaptability of the sensitivity allows calibration to different ambient conditions or specific gas types. The electrical connection is made via the Grove port, which enables simple integration without soldering.
