MQ-6 LPG Gas Sensor Module – Detects Propane, Isobutane, and Combustible Gases

The MQ-6 LPG Gas Sensor Module is a high-sensitivity detection unit designed to sense liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), propane, and isobutane concentrations in the air. This sensor module provides an analog output that can be easily interfaced with microcontrollers like Arduino, making it perfect for safety systems, home automation, and industrial gas detection applications.

Using a sensitive SnO₂ (tin dioxide) sensing element, the MQ-6 exhibits low conductivity in clean air and higher conductivity in the presence of target gases. It can detect gas concentrations ranging from 200 ppm to 10,000 ppm. The onboard heater coil is powered by 5V, and the sensor’s output changes proportionally with gas concentration, enabling real-time monitoring with a simple drive circuit.
