Trace Hydrogen (H2) Sensor
SGAS701
Datasheet
Description
The IDT SGAS701 is a solid-state chemiresistor sensor designed to detect hydrogen in air. The sensor uses an integrated heater with highly sensitive MOx material tailored for detection of hydrogen.
The chemiresistor sensors of IDT’s SGAS family are based upon the principle that metal oxide materials undergo surface interactions (physisorption and chemisorption) with gas molecules at elevated temperatures, resulting in a measurable change in electrical resistance. As these materials are polycrystalline (i.e., composed of multiple grains with distinct grain boundaries), the adsorbed gases have significant electronic effects on the individual grains.
