MQ6 Gas Sensor Module
Product Details
The MQ6 Gas Sensor Module is a reliable sensor used for detecting LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), propane, and butane. It is widely used in gas leakage detection systems, industrial safety devices, and home automation projects to monitor the presence of flammable gases.
The sensor works using a sensitive gas detection element whose resistance changes when exposed to combustible gases. These changes are converted into analog and digital output signals, which can be easily interfaced with microcontrollers such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP8266, and ESP32.
The MQ6 module typically includes an onboard comparator and adjustable potentiometer, allowing users to set the sensitivity level and gas detection threshold according to their application needs. Its fast response, high sensitivity, and stable performance make it suitable for both industrial safety systems and DIY electronics projects.
