Hi readers! Welcome to a detailed exploration of the MQ gas sensor series where we are discussing the basic details of its members. This series was engineered using revolutionary technology to detect combustible and toxic gases with great efficiency. It uses the chemiresistor sensing element to detect the target gas and has a quick response time that makes it a reliable choice. These are used in multiple industries, domestic areas, offices, and other places where a chance of leakage of combustible gas occurs. This series might not be fancy, but it is designed for a long life and ensures minimal false detection for reliable output.
We are going to start the discussion with a basic introduction to this series, and then we’ll try to clear up some basic concepts in order to have the best unde ...

Hi readers! Welcome to another article where we are discussing the MQ family members. Today, our motto is to learn about the MQ-5 natural liquified petroleum gas (LPG) sensor. The gas sensing material used in this sensor is known as tin dioxide(SnO2). It detects the natural LPG in the surroundings as soon as the core material of this sensor comes in contact with the LPG. This will be explained in simple words in this article.
Today, we’ll start learning about the basic introduction of the MQ-5 natural LPG sensor. After that, we’ll move towards its datasheet element, where we are going to see the specifications and features of the sensor, along with the pinout configuration and internal structure. We’ll also see the working principle and applications of the MQ-5 natural LPG sensor, and a ...
Hello readers! I hope you are doing great. Today we are discussing the features and details of the MQ-4 methane gas sensor, which belongs to the popular gas sensor MQ family. We have been working on other gas sensors as well, but MQ-4 is particularly suitable for detecting the presence of methane gas. This sensor is more popular because methane gas and compressed natural gas (CNG) are widely used for cooking and other related purposes. MQ-4 methane gas sensor is an important part of the home safety system. Some other advantages of this sensor are, that it responds instantly and has a potentiometer that adds versatility to its functions.
In this article, we are going to study the MQ-4 methane sensor from scratch. We’ll go through its introduction and will study the basic components of it ...
Hey pals! Welcome to the next article where we're studying a gas sensor from the MQ sensor series. Today, we’ll understand the MQ-6 LPG butane gas sensor and will know the basic information about this product. This sensor has sensitivity for gases like LPG, isobutane propane etc and it is widely used to check any leakage of these gases. These are the commonly used gases but any leakage or excessive use may be harmful and even life-threatening. In such cases, sensors like MQ-6 are proved one of the most important devices.
In this article, we’ll start the discussion with the introduction of the MQ-6 LPG butane gas sensor. After that, we’ll move towards the datasheet of this product in which we’ll study the specifications, features, and some graphs that will show its working. After that, we ...
Hey students! Welcome to another episode of the MQ gas sensor series. Today, we are interested to learn about the high-performance sensor that is used to detect the presence of benzene gas. This is the MQ138 gas sensor and it instantly detects the target gas because it has tin dioxide as the sensing element. Usually, it can detect multiple gases and is considered as the Volatile organic compounds (VOC) sensor but the most significant target gas of this sensor is benzene therefore, we’ll pay attention towards the discussion of the benzene detection through this sensor. Many features of this sensor resemble other members of the MQ gas sensor series and we’ll read its basic features and specifications in detail.
