Description:
The DFRobot Fermion MEMS VOC Gas Detection Sensor (Breakout, 1-500ppm) leverages cutting-edge microelectromechanical system (MEMS) technology for highly efficient volatile organic compound (VOC) detection. This breakout module offers a compact footprint (13x13x2.5mm) and boasts low power consumption (<20mA), ensuring minimal heat generation and an extended operational lifespan. The sensor's rapid response and recovery times, coupled with a short preheating phase, make it well-suited for dynamic environments.
Designed for qualitative VOC gas concentration measurement within a 1-500ppm range, it is ideal for applications such as indoor air quality assessment, smart air purifiers, and automated fresh air systems. This sensor is part of the extensive Fermion MEMS gas sensor family, which features 11 distinct gas detection capabilities (HCHO, CO, CH4, VOC, NH3, H2S, EtOH, Smoke, Odor, H2, NO2), allowing for customized sensor arrays to meet specific project requirements.
