DFRobot Fermion NH3 Gas Sensor MEMS Ammonia Gas Sensor 1-300ppm Gas Detection Range Sensor For Industrial and Environmental Applications

Description:

The DFRobot Fermion MEMS series gas sensor uses MEMS technology to manufacture micro hotplates on a Si substrate, and the gas-sensitive material used is a metal oxide semiconductor material with low conductivity in clean air. When the detected gas is present in the ambient air, the conductivity of the sensor changes, and the higher the concentration of the gas, the higher the conductivity of the sensor.

The structure of this sensor series is robust, and a simple circuit can be used to convert the change in conductivity into an output signal that corresponds to the concentration of the gas. Its small size and low power consumption also make it easy to integrate with other devices.
