Description

The MQ-135 gas sensor operates on a metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) principle, where its conductivity changes in the presence of target combustible or harmful gases. This change is converted into a corresponding analog output voltage, which increases linearly with gas concentration. The module includes a comparator circuit for generating a digital TTL-level signal when a user-adjustable threshold is exceeded.

Designed for general-purpose air quality monitoring, the sensor requires a brief pre-heating period for stable operation. It is suitable for prototyping and integration into environmental monitoring systems, safety alarms, and indoor air quality assessments, operating within a typical detection range of 100-1000 ppm for various gases.

Key Features

  • Metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) sensing element for broad gas detection
  • Dual output: analog voltage (0-5V) and digital TTL switch signal
  • On-board potentiometer for digital output sensitivity calibration
  • Fast response and recovery time for dynamic gas monitoring
  • Pre-heater drive circuit included for stable sensor operation
  • Compact PCB design with power and digital output indicator LEDs
  • Standard 2.54mm pin header for breadboard and Dupont wire compatibility
  • High-value build for cost-effective prototyping and educational use

Applications

  • Indoor air quality monitoring systems for homes and offices
  • Prototype safety alarms for ammonia or benzene leakage detection
  • Educational kits for environmental sensing and Arduino projects
  • Ventilation control triggers in workshops or industrial areas
  • Smoke and hazardous gas detection in DIY safety projects

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage for the MQ-135 module?

The module requires a 5V DC supply for the logic circuitry. The integrated sensor heater also requires 5V ±0.1V AC or DC, with a typical power consumption of approximately 800 mW. Always ensure your power source can provide adequate current for both the module and the heater.

How do I interpret the analog and digital outputs?

The analog output provides a voltage signal between 0V and 5V, which increases proportionally with the concentration of the target gas. The digital TTL output is normally high and switches to a low logic level when the gas concentration exceeds a threshold set by the onboard potentiometer. Connect the analog pin to an ADC input and the digital pin to a digital input on your microcontroller.

Does the MQ-135 sensor require calibration?

For qualitative detection and threshold alarms, calibration via the onboard potentiometer is sufficient. For precise quantitative measurement, sensor-specific calibration against known gas concentrations in a controlled environment is required, as the baseline and sensitivity can vary between units and over time. A pre-heating period of at least 24-48 hours is recommended for initial stabilization.
