The SB-12A is a tin dioxide semiconductor gas sensor which has an excellent performance in methane detection with significant low power consumption concept (120 mW). High sensitivity, low sensitivity to noise gases, quick response speed and strong poisoning resistance features achieve reliable gas detection system applications.
Structure
Gas sensitive semiconductor material is a mini bead type and a heater coil and electrode wire are embedded in the element. The sensing element is installed in the metal housing which uses double stainless steel mesh (100 mesh) in the path of gas flow. This sensor unit is placed in an external housing which contains active charcoal filter
