Product Details
SMD1001 MEMS Formaldehyde Gas Sensor Ceramic Tube Shell Sensor
Toxic Harmful Gas Detection
The SMD1001 is a MEMS (Micro - Electro - Mechanical Systems)
semiconductor gas sensor, which is designed to accurately detect
formaldehyde (HCHO) in the air. Housed in a ceramic package, it
offers excellent protection against external factors such as
mechanical shock, moisture, and dust, ensuring stable performance
over time. This sensor is an ideal choice for applications where
precise formaldehyde detection is required, including indoor air
quality monitoring, industrial safety, and environmental
protection.
Technical Specifications
1. Detection Capabilities:
- Detected Gas: Formaldehyde (HCHO) is the primary gas that the
SMD1001 sensor can detect. It is highly sensitive to formaldehyde
molecules in the air, making it effective in identifying even low -
level concentrations.
- Detection Concentration Range: The sensor can measure formaldehyde
concentrations ranging from 0 to 3 ppm. This wide range allows it
to be used in various scenarios, from relatively clean indoor
environments to areas with higher levels of formaldehyde pollution.
- Resolution: With a resolution of 0.04 ppm for formaldehyde, the
SMD1001 sensor can provide detailed and accurate readings, enabling
users to closely monitor subtle changes in formaldehyde levels.
2. Electrical Parameters:
- Circuit Voltage (VC): It can operate under a circuit voltage of ≤5V
or 3.3V DC. This flexibility in power supply voltage makes it
compatible with a wide variety of electronic circuits and systems.
- Heating Voltage (VH): The required heating voltage is 1.8 ± 0.05 V,
which can be either AC or DC. Heating the sensor is essential as it
activates the semiconductor material, enhancing its sensitivity and
response speed to formaldehyde gas.
- Load Resistance (RL): The load resistance of the SMD1001 sensor is
adjustable, and the specific value is based on the delivery report.
This adjustability allows for fine - tuning of the sensor's output
characteristics to meet specific application requirements.
- Heating Resistance (RH): At room temperature, the heating
resistance of the sensor is measured to be 45 ± 5 Ω.
- Heating Power Consumption (PH): The heating power consumption is
≤30mW, indicating relatively low power usage during the heating
process. This is beneficial for applications where power efficiency
is a concern, such as battery - powered gas detection devices.
- Sensitive Body Resistance (RS): When tested in air, the sensitive
body resistance of the SMD1001 sensor ranges from 10 to 500 KΩ.
3. Sensitivity and Related Parameters:
- Sensitivity (S): Defined as R0 (in air) / Rs (in 0.4 ppm
formaldehyde), the sensitivity of the SMD1001 sensor is ≥1.3. This
means that when the sensor is exposed to 0.4 ppm of formaldehyde,
there is a significant change in its resistance compared to its
resistance in clean air, enabling reliable detection of
formaldehyde.
- Slope (α): The slope, which reflects the rate of change of the
sensor's response with different formaldehyde concentrations, is
≤0.6 (R0.4ppm / R0.01ppm formaldehyde). This parameter helps in
understanding the linearity of the sensor's response to varying
formaldehyde levels.
4. Test Conditions:
- Environmental Conditions: The standard test conditions for the
SMD1001 sensor include a temperature of 20 °C ± 2 °C and a humidity
of 55% ± 5% RH. These conditions ensure consistent and comparable
test results across different testing environments.
- Circuit Conditions: For the standard test circuit, VC is set to 5V
or 3.3 ± 0.1V, and VH is 1.8V ± 0.05V. Before taking accurate
measurements, the sensor requires a pre - heating time of 3 - 5
minutes to reach its optimal operating state.
5. Response and Recovery Time:
- Response Time (T₉₀): The sensor can reach 90% of its final response
value within less than 15 seconds when exposed to formaldehyde gas,
indicating a fast - acting characteristic that allows for quick
detection of formaldehyde concentration changes.
- Recovery Time (T₁₀): After the formaldehyde gas is removed, the
sensor can recover to 10% of its initial state within less than 60
seconds, ensuring that it can be ready for subsequent detections
promptly.
6. Service Life:
The SMD1001 gas sensor has a service life of ≥3 years, providing
long - term reliability and stability in formaldehyde detection
applications without the need for frequent replacement.
Applications:
- Indoor Air Quality Monitoring: Since formaldehyde is a common
indoor air pollutant that can be emitted from building materials,
furniture, and cleaning products, the SMD1001 sensor can be
integrated into air quality monitors to continuously check
formaldehyde levels in homes, offices, schools, and other indoor
spaces. This helps in ensuring a healthy living and working
environment for occupants.
- Industrial Safety: In industries such as wood processing, chemical
manufacturing, and furniture production, where formaldehyde is
often used in the production process, the SMD1001 sensor can be
installed to monitor formaldehyde emissions. This ensures
compliance with safety and environmental regulations and protects
the health of workers.
- Environmental Protection: For environmental research and monitoring
projects focused on air quality in urban areas or near industrial
sources, the SMD1001 sensor can contribute to accurate data
collection on formaldehyde concentrations in the ambient air.
