Combustible gas sensors from Figaro utilising tin dioxide (SnO2) semiconductor technology providing an output proportion to gas concentration. These low cost sensors can detect a wide range of combustible gases making them an ideal choice for a wide variety of applications. Type TGS813 has a nylon 66 housing and base; type TGS816 has a metal housing with a ceramic base which is capable of withstanding temperatures of up to 200°C. Typical applications include domestic gas leak detectors and alarms, and portable gas detectors.

• High sensitivity to methane, propane and butane
• Long life and low cost
• Utilises simple electrical circuit

PCB Mounted Gas Sensors

Operating conditions in which Sensors are used will vary with each customer's application. Gas and oxygen sensors are not authorised for use as critical components in life support applications wherein a failure or malfunction of the products may result in injury or threat to life. Non-calibrated PCB gas sensors will not operate properly if not calibrated prior to usage.

Semiconductor gas sensors for gas detection, air quality control, HVAC, appliance and automotive industries. Characteristics of the products in this range are small size, low cost, long life, low power consumption and no maintenance requirement
