DESCRIPTIONS AND FEATURES

MQ-4 Natural Gas Sensor

MQ-4

Description

Widely employed for gas leak detection in homes and industrial facilities, the MQ4 gas sensor module is specifically engineered to identify gases like methane (CH4) and compressed natural gas (CNG). One of its standout features is rapid responsiveness, and its sensitivity can be tailored to specific requirements through an integrated potentiometer. Belonging to the MQ sensor series, this analog output device is primarily utilized as a CNG sensor, with a core application in measuring the concentration of methane and similar natural gases in the air.
 
A key operational trait of the MQ4 sensor is its voltage output behavior: as the surrounding gas concentration increases, the sensor’s output voltage also rises accordingly. It operates on a 5V DC power source and has a power consumption of roughly 750mW. Classified as a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) sensor, it functions by detecting methane gas concentrations in residential or industrial environments and translating these measurements into readable analog voltage signals.
 
With a sensing range spanning from 300 ppm to 10,000 ppm, the MQ4 sensor is well-suited for effectively identifying gas leaks. This summary outlines the fundamental overview, working principle, and practical applications of the MQ4 methane gas sensor.
