Semiconductor Alcohol Sensor - MQ-K3

Product Specification

Semiconductor Alcohol Sensor

Specification:

MQ-K3 is a semiconductor sensor for Alcohol detection. It has very goodsensitivity and fast response to alcohol, suitable for portable alcoholdetector. 

Sensitive material of MQ-K3 gas sensor is SnO2, which with lower conductivityin clean air. When the target alcohol gas exist, the sensor’s conductivity is higheralong with the gas concentration rising. Please use simple circuit, Convertchange of conductivity to correspond output signal of gas concentration.

Character:

1. MQ-K3 gas sensor with good sensitivity to alcoholgas                                                                                      

2. Long life and lowcost                                          

3. Simple drive circuit
