{"title":"LPG Gas Sensor - MQ-6","handle":"lpg-gas-sensor-mq-6","url":"/products/lpg-gas-sensor-mq-6","description":"A simple-to-use MQ-6 gas sensor for detecting liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) — primarily propane and butane — in the air. The sensor detects concentrations from 200 to 10,000 ppm with high sensitivity and fast response time.\n\nThe MQ-6 outputs an analog resistance that varies with gas concentration. The drive circuit is straightforward: power the heater coil with 5 V, add a load resistor, and read the output with an ADC on your microcontroller.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nLPG Detection – Sensitive to propane, butane, and other LPG components\n\nWide Detection Range – 200 to 10,000 ppm\n\nFast Response Time – Quick detection of gas concentration changes\n\nAnalog Output – Simple resistive output for ADC reading\n\nSimple Drive Circuit – 5 V heater coil + load resistor\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nTarget Gas: LPG (propane, butane)\n\nDetection Range: 200–10,000 ppm\n\nHeater Voltage: 5 V DC\n\nOutput: Analog resistance\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nLPG leak detection systems\nGas monitoring and safety alarms\nAir quality monitoring projects\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× MQ-6 LPG Gas Sensor\n\n\nResources\n\nMQ-6 Datasheet (PDF)\nWiring Example\n","vendor":"SparkFun","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":14236,"title":"Default Title","sku":"SF-SEN-09405","price":14.53,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":39,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
