## Description

An analogue alcohol gas sensor based on the MQ-3 probe, designed for use with Arduino and other microcontrollers. The sensor outputs a voltage proportional to the concentration of alcohol vapour in the surrounding air, making it suitable for breathalyser-style projects, air quality monitoring, and gas detection experiments. Part of the DFRobot Gravity sensor range, this module features a plug-and-play 3-pin analogue interface and an onboard potentiometer for adjusting sensitivity. The MQ-3 probe has high sensitivity to alcohol with low cross-sensitivity to benzene. Key Features MQ-3 Gas Sensor Probe – High sensitivity to alcohol vapour Analogue Output – Voltage proportional to gas concentration Adjustable Sensitivity – Onboard potentiometer for calibration Gravity Interface – 3-pin analogue connector for plug-and-play wiring Immersion Gold Surface – Improved oxidation resistance Standard Mounting – Four 3mm holes at 5mm spacing Fast Response – Quick detection with stable, long-life operation Ideal For DIY breathalyser and alcohol detection projects Air quality monitoring systems Arduino gas sensing experiments STEM education and sensor exploration Specifications Sensor – MQ-3 alcohol gas probe Power Supply – 5V Interface – Analogue Dimensions – 36.4 × 26.6mm Package Contents 1× Gravity Alcohol Sensor (MQ-3) 1× Analogue Sensor Cable Resources Product Wiki MQ-3 Datasheet (PDF) Schematic (PDF)
