MQ6 Butane,propane gas sensor module

The MQ6 Gas Sensor Module is designed to detect the presence and concentration of butane (C4H10) and propane (C3H8) gases in the air. It utilizes a semiconductor sensing element that changes its resistance based on the concentration of these gases. The module provides an analog output voltage proportional to the gas concentration, making it suitable for applications such as gas leak detection, air quality monitoring, and safety systems. Key Features:

• Detects butane and propane gases
• Analog output voltage proportional to gas concentration
