C2H5OH (Alcohol / Benzine) Gas Sensor Module
Product Code: Sensors-C2H5OH-Module_27904
Weight:0.25 lb
Reward Points:0
The C2H5OH (Alcohol / Benzine) Gas Sensor Module is designed to allow a microcontroller to determine when a preset C2H5OH gas level has been reached or exceeded. Interfacing with the sensor module is done through a 4-pin SIP header and requires two I/O pins from the host microcontroller. The sensor module is mainly intended to provide a means of comparing alcohol sources and being able to set an alarm limit when the source becomes excessive.
Key Features:
- Uses the MQ-3 C2H5OH Gas Sensor.
- Easy SIP interface.
- Compatible with most microcontrollers.
Application Ideas:
- Sensing high alcohol (C2H5OH) concentration.
- Alert for over limit of gas concentration.
- Breathalyzer.
- Stand-alone/background sensing.
