PRODUCT INFORMATION
TGS 2611 - for the detection of Methane
Features:
* Low power consumption * High sensitivity to methane * Long life and low cost * Uses simple electrical circuit
Applications:
* Domestic gas alarms * Portable gas detectors * Gas leak detector for gas appliances
The sensing element is comprised of a metal oxide semiconductor layer formed on an alumina substrate of a sensing chip together with an integrated heater. In the presence of a detectable gas, the sensor's conductivity increases depending on the gas concentration in the air. A simple electrical circuit can convert the change in conductivity to an output signal which corresponds to the gas concentration. The TGS 2611 has high sensitivity and selectivity to methane gas.
