MICS-5524 CO H2 CH4 Gas Sensor Detection Module - Analog Output
The MICS-5524 is a MEMS-based gas sensor module designed for detecting a broad range of combustible gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H2), methane (CH4), and ethanol. Operating at 5V DC, it provides an analog voltage output proportional to gas concentration, making it compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontroller platforms for air quality monitoring and leak detection projects.
Features
- Broad-spectrum detection for CO, H2, CH4, NH3, and ethanol gases.
- Analog voltage output for direct interfacing with ADC inputs on microcontrollers.
- Integrated heater with low-power enable/disable control pin (EN).
- Compact PCB breakout board with pre-soldered header pins for easy prototyping.
- Wide operating temperature range from -30°C to 85°C for robust environmental performance.

The MICS-5524 module integrates a robust MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) gas sensor. The sensing element requires a heated surface, drawing 25-35mA at 5V, to facilitate the chemical reaction that changes its resistance in the presence of target gases. This resistance change is conditioned by the onboard circuit to produce a variable analog output voltage.
This sensor is designed for qualitative and semi-quantitative detection in non-safety-critical applications such as indoor air quality assessment, educational experiments, and early-stage prototype development for gas leak detection. It is important to note that the sensor responds to multiple gases simultaneously and cannot differentiate between them without specific calibration and environmental control. All readings require baseline calibration for meaningful interpretation.
