MQ-6 Liquefied Petroleum Isobutane Propane Gas Sensor module

MQ-6 Liquefied Petroleum Isobutane Propane Gas Sensor module is a great way to add basic gas sensing to your project at a reasonable price. Designed to detect LPG, isobutane, and propane gases, this detector gas module is suitable for environment monitoring and gas leakage detection systems. Its main sensing component is a tin oxide (SnO2), which shows lower conductivity in clean air but increases when ir detector sensor and gasoline sensor gases are present.

Key Features - Gas Sensor
