Product Overview
MQ-2 NH3 Gas Sensor Module
The MQ-2 gas sensor is a device that can detect a variety of gases, including flammable gases such as propane and methane, as well as smoke. It is commonly used in applications such as gas leak detectors, safety devices, and industrial control systems. The MQ-2 sensor operates by using a chemical reaction between the target gas and conductive metal oxide to produce a current.
The magnitude of the current is proportional to the concentration of the target gas in the air. The
gas sensor
can be used to detect a wide range of gas concentrations, depending on the specific type of gas being detected. It is important to note that the MQ-2 sensor is not selective for specific gas and may be triggered by other gases as well. It is recommended to use the MQ-2 sensor with caution and to take appropriate safety measures when working with it.
Applications:
Detect or measure Gases like H2, LPG, CH4, CO, Smoke or Propane
Air quality monitor
Gas leak alarm
Safety standard maintenance
Maintaining environmental standards in hospitals

Use Cases
- Sensitive material of MQ-2 gas sensor is SnO2, which with lower conductivity in clean air.
- When the target combustible gas exists. The sensors conductivity is more higher along with the gas concentration rising.
- Please use simple electro circuit, convert change of conductivity to correspond output signal of gas concentration.
- MQ-2 gas sensor has high sensitivity to LPG, Propane and Hydrogen, also could be used to Methane and other combustible steam, it is with low cost and suitable for different application.
