The MQ-9B is a CO and CH₄ gas detection sensor form Winsen. The sensing material of the MQ-9B is SnO2, which has a low conductivity in clean air. It detects carbon monoxide (1.5V) by method of cycling high and low temperature. The sensor’s conductivity gets higher with the CO and CH₄ gas concentration rising. The sensing range is 10-500ppm CH₄. A simple circuit makes measuring this change in conductivity and turning it into data fairly straight-forward, but does require some calibration.
For easy Solderability; use our Gas Sensor Breakout Board.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout is a small circuit board that makes a tiny or hard-to-solder component easier to connect to with standard pins. It matters because this OLED module can be wired into a microcontroller project without needing to solder directly to the display’s fine contacts.
