Octopus MQ3 Alcohol Sensor Brick

The Octopus MQ3 Alcohol Sensor Brick from ElecFreaks is an analogue gas sensor module with high sensitivity to alcohol vapour. It outputs an analogue voltage proportional to the detected alcohol concentration, making it straightforward to interface with Arduino and other microcontrollers.

The MQ3 sensor element has low sensitivity to benzene and other gases, providing reasonable selectivity for alcohol detection applications. The brick-style form factor includes a 3-pin connector for easy plug-and-play wiring.
