## 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. The 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. Key Features LPG Detection – Sensitive to propane, butane, and other LPG components Wide Detection Range – 200 to 10,000 ppm Fast Response Time – Quick detection of gas concentration changes Analog Output – Simple resistive output for ADC reading Simple Drive Circuit – 5 V heater coil + load resistor Specifications Target Gas: LPG (propane, butane) Detection Range: 200–10,000 ppm Heater Voltage: 5 V DC Output: Analog resistance Ideal For LPG leak detection systems Gas monitoring and safety alarms Air quality monitoring projects Package Contents 1× MQ-6 LPG Gas Sensor Resources MQ-6 Datasheet (PDF) Wiring Example
