Features:
* General purpose sensor with sensitivity to a wide range of combustible gases
* High sensitivity to methane, propane, and butane
* Long life and low cost
* Ceramic base resistant to severe environment
Applications:
* Domestic gas leak detectors and alarms
* Portable gas detectors
The sensing element of Figaro gas sensors is a tin dioxide (SnO 2 ) semiconductor which has low conductivity in clean air. 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 TGS816 is not only sensitive to a wide range of gases, it also has a ceramic base which can withstand severe environments up to 200°C. It has high sensitivity to methane, propane, and butane, making it ideal for natural gas and LPG monitoring. The sensor can detect a wide range of gases, making it an excellent, low cost sensor for a variety of applications.
