Description
The MQ-4 Gas Sensor is a highly sensitive module designed to detect a variety of combustible gases, with a particular focus on methane and natural gas. Using low conductivity tin oxide (SnO2) material, the sensor detects increasing gas concentrations through changes in conductivity. The sensor provides an output signal that corresponds to the gas concentration in the air. It offers excellent sensitivity to gases such as methane, propane, and butane, making it an ideal solution for applications such as gas leak detection in homes, factories, and industrial settings.
