Product Overview

A small, low-cost CO and CH4 sensor for domestic, industrial and portable gas alarms.

The sensor detects CO during the low-temperature heater phase and responds to CO and methane during high-temperature operation while cleaning the sensing surface.

The conductivity change can be converted into a concentration-related output with a simple external circuit.

Designed for Reliable Integration
