Combustible gases sensor - TGS2610

Product Specification

Features:

* Low power consumption
* High sensitivity to LP and its component gases (e.g. propane and butane)
* Long life and low cost
* Uses simple electrical circuit

Applications:

* Residential LP leak detectors and alarms
* Portable LP detectors
* LP gas and vapor detection

TGS2610 is a semiconductor type gas sensor which combines very high
sensitivity to LP gas with low power consumption and long life. Due to
miniaturization of its sensing chip, TGS2610 requires a heater current of only
56mA and the device is housed in a standard TO-5 package.
The TGS2610 is available in two different models which have different external
housings but identical sensitivity to LP gas. Both models are able to satisfy the
requirements of performance standards such as UL1484 and EN50194.
TGS2610-C00 possesses small size and quick gas response, making it suitable
for gas leakage checkers.
TGS2610-D00 uses filter material in its housing which eliminates the influence
of interference gases such as alcohol, resulting in highly selective response
to LP gas. This feature makes the sensor ideal for residential gas leakage
detectors which require durability and resistance against interference gas.

The figure below represents typical sensitivity characteristics, all data having been gathered at standard test conditions (see
reverse side of this sheet). The Y-axis is indicated as sensor resistance ratio (Rs/Ro) which is defined as follows:
Rs = Sensor resistance in displayed gases at various concentrations
Ro = Sensor resistance in 1800ppm of iso-butane
