Product Details
SMD1012 Hydrogen Gas Sensor Toxic Flammable Explosion-proof Gas
Detection Sensor
Product Overview:
The SMD1012 is a high - performance MEMS (Micro - Electro -
Mechanical Systems) semiconductor gas sensor. It is encapsulated in
a ceramic package, which offers excellent protection against
mechanical stress, humidity, and chemical corrosion, ensuring
stable operation and a long service life. This sensor is
specifically designed to detect various gases, making it suitable
for a wide range of applications in environmental monitoring,
safety detection, and industrial process control.
Technical Specifications
1. Gas Detection Information:
- Detected Gases: The SMD1012 sensor is capable of detecting multiple
gases, including but not limited to alcohol, smoke, and certain
volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This multi - gas detection
capability makes it a versatile choice for different gas - sensing
scenarios.
- Detection Concentration Range: For example, when detecting ethanol,
it can measure concentrations within a specific range (e.g., 0 -
[X] ppm, where [X] is the maximum detectable concentration
depending on the design). This wide range allows it to adapt to
various environments, from relatively clean air with trace amounts
of the target gas to areas with higher pollution levels.
- Resolution: It has a high - resolution ability, such as being able
to distinguish changes in gas concentration as small as [Y] ppm
(e.g., 0.1 ppm for ethanol), enabling precise measurement of gas
levels.
2. Electrical Parameters:
- Circuit Voltage (Vc): The sensor can operate under a circuit
voltage of ≤5V or 3.3V DC. This flexibility in power supply
requirements makes it compatible with a variety of electronic
circuits and systems, facilitating its integration into different
devices.
- Heating Voltage (Vh): The required heating voltage is [specified
value] ± [tolerance] V, which can be either AC or DC. Heating the
sensor is crucial as it activates the semiconductor material,
enhancing its sensitivity to the target gases.
- Load Resistance (RL): The load resistance is adjustable, and the
specific value is subject to the delivery report. This
adjustability allows users to optimize the sensor's output
characteristics according to their specific application needs.
- Heating Resistance (Rh): At room temperature, the heating
resistance of the SMD1012 sensor is measured to be [Rh value] ±
[tolerance] Ω.
- Heating Power Consumption (Ph): The heating power consumption is
relatively low, ≤[Ph value] mW, which is beneficial for power -
sensitive applications, such as battery - operated gas detectors.
- Sensitive Body Resistance (Rs): When tested in air, the sensitive
body resistance of the sensor ranges from [lower limit] to [upper
limit] KΩ.
3. Sensitivity and Related Parameters:
- Sensitivity (S): Defined as the ratio of the sensor's resistance in
air (R0) to its resistance in the presence of a certain
concentration of the target gas (e.g., Rs in [Z] ppm of the gas),
the sensitivity of the SMD1012 sensor is ≥[sensitivity value]. A
higher sensitivity indicates that the sensor can more effectively
detect small changes in gas concentration.
- Slope (α): The slope represents the rate of change of the sensor's
response with respect to different gas concentrations. It is
specified as ≤[α value] (e.g., R[higher concentration] / R[lower
concentration] of the gas), which helps in understanding the
linearity of the sensor's response curve.
4. Test Conditions:
- Environmental Conditions: The standard test conditions for the
SMD1012 sensor include a temperature of 20 °C ± 2 °C and a humidity
of 55% ± 5% RH. These controlled environmental conditions ensure
consistent and comparable test results across different test
setups.
- Circuit Conditions: For the standard test circuit, Vc is set to 5V
or 3.3 ± 0.1V, and Vh is set to the specified heating voltage value
± its tolerance. Before accurate gas measurement, the sensor
requires a pre - heating time of [pre - heating time range] 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 [response time value] seconds when exposed
to the target gas. This fast response time is important for real -
time gas detection applications, allowing for quick identification
of gas presence and concentration changes.
- Recovery Time (T₁₀): After the gas is removed, the sensor can
recover to 10% of its initial state within less than [recovery time
value] seconds, ensuring that it can quickly resume normal
operation for subsequent detections.
6. Service Life:
The SMD1012 gas sensor has a service life of ≥3 years, providing
long - term reliability and stability in gas detection
applications, reducing the need for frequent replacement and
maintenance.
Applications
- Home Safety: It can be integrated into home security systems to
detect the presence of alcohol (e.g., in case of potential gas
leaks from alcohol - containing products) or smoke, which may
indicate a fire hazard. Additionally, it can monitor for harmful
VOCs that could affect indoor air quality and the health of
residents.
- Industrial Settings: In industrial environments, such as chemical
plants, paint shops, and printing factories, the SMD1012 sensor can
be used to monitor the concentration of various gases emitted
during production processes. This helps in ensuring compliance with
safety regulations, protecting the health of workers, and
preventing potential environmental pollution.
- Automotive and Transportation: For automotive applications, it can
be used to detect gases inside the vehicle cabin, such as those
emitted from interior materials or from potential fuel leaks. In
public transportation, it can help maintain good air quality for
passengers by monitoring for harmful gases.
- Environmental Monitoring: In outdoor environmental monitoring
projects, the sensor can be deployed to detect gases in the ambient
air, contributing to a better understanding of air quality and the
impact of industrial emissions or other sources of pollution on the
environment.
