Description

The SGAS701 sensor utilizes a nanostructured metal oxide (MOx) sensing material whose electrical resistance changes upon interaction with hydrogen gas molecules at elevated temperatures. This chemiresistive principle provides a reliable and measurable output proportional to gas concentration. An integrated heater ensures the sensing element is maintained at its optimal operating temperature of 240°C for consistent performance.

Designed for robustness, the sensor operates reliably across an environmental temperature range of -20°C to 50°C and humidity up to 90% RH (non-condensing). Its solid-state construction offers excellent long-term stability and resistance to poisoning, making it suitable for continuous monitoring applications in industrial and safety-critical environments.

Key Features

  • Solid-state chemiresistor based on proprietary Renesas nanostructured MOx material.
  • High sensitivity tailored specifically for hydrogen (Hâ‚‚) detection.
  • Integrated heater with precise temperature control for stable baseline operation.
  • Rugged and reliable construction with low dependence on ambient flow rate.
  • Wide operating temperature and humidity range for versatile deployment.
  • Compact form factor (5 x 5 x 1 cm) for easy integration into various enclosures.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for safety and monitoring systems.

Applications

  • Hydrogen leak detection in fuel cell systems, battery rooms, and laboratory environments.
  • Gas concentration monitoring in hydrogen production, storage, and transportation facilities.
  • Safety systems for industrial processes involving hydrogen as a reactant or byproduct.
  • Portable and fixed gas detectors for occupational health and safety compliance.
  • Breath analysis and medical research equipment requiring hydrogen detection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the SGAS701 sensor's sensing circuit?

The sensing circuit of the SGAS701 operates from 2.5 to 5.0 VDC. The integrated heater requires a separate 5.4 VDC supply to maintain the sensing element at its optimal temperature of 240°C for accurate hydrogen detection.

How do I interface with the SGAS701 sensor? What is the output signal?

The SGAS701 is a resistive sensor. Its output is a change in resistance proportional to hydrogen concentration. You will need an external microcontroller or signal conditioning circuit (e.g., a voltage divider or transimpedance amplifier) to convert this resistance change into a measurable voltage for your data acquisition system or PLC.

What are the environmental limits for installing this hydrogen sensor?

The sensor is rated for continuous operation in environments from -20°C to 50°C with relative humidity from 0% to 90% (non-condensing). For storage, it can withstand temperatures from -50°C to 125°C. Avoid exposing the sensor to condensing humidity or direct water spray.
