MQ6 LPG Propane Gas Sensor
Target Gases: The MQ-6 sensor is primarily designed to detect combustible gases such as propane, butane, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), methane, and alcohol vapors. It has a high sensitivity to these gases, making it suitable for applications where gas leak detection is critical.
Structure and Components: The sensor is typically housed in a compact and durable package, making it easy to integrate into various systems. It contains a sensing element composed of a semiconductor material that interacts with the target gases. An internal heating element is included to maintain the sensing element at an optimal operating temperature for accurate detection.
Heating: The heating element inside the sensor ensures that the semiconductor material reaches and maintains the required temperature for gas detection.
Output Signal: The sensor provides an analog output signal that varies based on the concentration of the detected gas. Higher gas concentrations result in higher output signals.

Description
The MQ-6 gas sensor is a popular semiconductor-based gas sensor designed for detecting a variety of combustible gases in the environment.Here's a detailed description of the MQ-6 gas sensor:
Working Principle: The MQ-6 sensor operates on the principle of a chemiresistor, where the resistance of the sensor's semiconductor material changes in the presence of specific gases. This change in resistance is then converted into an electrical signal for analysis.Target Gases: The MQ-6 sensor is primarily designed to detect combustible gases such as propane, butane, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), methane, and alcohol vapors. It has a high sensitivity to these gases, making it suitable for applications where gas leak detection is critical.
Structure and Components: The sensor is typically housed in a compact and durable package, making it easy to integrate into various systems. It contains a sensing element composed of a semiconductor material that interacts with the target gases. An internal heating element is included to maintain the sensing element at an optimal operating temperature for accurate detection.
Operating Conditions:
Voltage: The MQ-6 sensor operates at a voltage typically around 5V DC. This voltage is used to power the sensor and facilitate gas detection.Heating: The heating element inside the sensor ensures that the semiconductor material reaches and maintains the required temperature for gas detection.
Output Signal: The sensor provides an analog output signal that varies based on the concentration of the detected gas. Higher gas concentrations result in higher output signals.
