Description
The MQ-5 Methane LPG Gas Sensor Module is designed for detecting combustible gases such as methane, LPG, propane, and natural gas in residential and industrial environments. It is based on a tin dioxide (SnO2) sensing element that changes conductivity according to gas concentration. The module features both analog and digital outputs with an onboard potentiometer for adjustable sensitivity and a built-in buzzer for audible leak indication. Built for stable operation at 5V DC, it ensures reliable gas detection performance. Ideal for gas leakage alarms, safety systems, and embedded monitoring projects. Features • MQ-5 SnO2 gas sensing element • Detects Methane, LPG, Propane, Butane • Analog voltage output (A0) • Digital output with adjustable threshold (D0) • Onboard potentiometer for sensitivity calibration • Integrated buzzer for leak indication • 5V DC operating voltage • Fast response and recovery time • High sensitivity to combustible gases • Stable performance in indoor environments • Standard 4-pin interface for easy integration • Suitable for Arduino and microcontrollers Tutorials • MQ5 Gas Sensor Raw Data From Arduino Uno
