MQ5 GAS SENOSR
The MQ-5 gas sensor is designed for detecting LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), natural gas, and town gas
Features
Sensitivity: Detects gas concentrations ranging from 200 to 10,000 ppm.
Target Gases: LPG, methane, natural gas, hydrogen.
Power Supply: Operates on 5V DC.
Output Signal: Provides both analog and digital outputs.
Response Time: Quick response and recovery (~<10s response).
