The MQ-5 Gas Sensor Module is designed to detect combustible gases, including liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), methane, and coal gas. It uses a sensitive gas-detection element to identify changes in gas concentration, making it suitable for gas leakage monitoring, safety alert projects, and DIY electronics applications.
The module provides an electrical output that changes in response to the detected gas concentration. Depending on the module design, it may offer both analog and digital outputs, allowing integration with microcontrollers such as Arduino and other compatible development boards.
With its compact design and easy integration, the MQ-5 is ideal for students, hobbyists, engineers, and developers building gas monitoring and detection prototypes.
