Description

Features:
CATEGORY SPECIFICATIONS
Product Type Combustible Gas Sensor Module
Model / Sensor Type MQ-4 (SnO₂ gas sensing element)
Detection Gases Methane (CH₄), Natural gas, LPG, Propane
Detection Range 300 – 10,000 ppm
Operating Principle Tin dioxide (SnO₂) conductivity increases when combustible gas is present
Operating Voltage DC 5 V
Power Consumption ~150 mA (heater powered)
Output Types Analog (AO) + Digital (DO / TTL)
Digital Output (DO) TTL signal (LOW when gas detected, HIGH otherwise)
Analog Output (AO) 0.1–0.3 V baseline, up to ~4 V at high gas concentration
Sensitivity High sensitivity to methane and propane
Selectivity Good balance between methane and propane detection
Interference Resistance Resistant to alcohol and smoke interference
Response Characteristics Fast response and recovery
Warm-up Time ~20 seconds (heater stabilization required)
Operating Principle Gas concentration ↑ → sensor conductivity ↑ → output signal changes
Physical Size 32 mm × 20 mm × 22 mm
Mounting Features 4 screw holes for installation
Indicator System Power LED + digital signal LED
Stability Long service life, stable operation
Internal Components SnO₂ sensing layer + heating coil + signal conditioning circuit
Controller Reference Chip AT89S52 (module-level reference)
Communication Mentioned UART 9600 (system-level integration reference)
Applications Gas leak detection, home safety systems, industrial methane monitoring, LPG alarms, ventilation systems
 
Package Includes:
1 x MQ-4 Gas Sensor Module
