MQ-7 CO Carbon Monoxide Gas Sensor Module

Description

Protect lives and ensure air safety with the highly sensitive MQ7 Carbon Monoxide Gas Sensor Module. This premium electronic module is specifically engineered to detect toxic Carbon Monoxide (CO) concentrations in the air, making it a critical component for indoor air quality monitors, industrial alarms, and smart home safety applications. Operating on a 5V circuit with alternating high/low voltage phases for internal heating, it provides both a clean analog output (for measuring exact ppm concentration) and a digital output with an adjustable onboard potentiometer threshold. You can easily connect this module to your favorite microcontroller platform. To build your next environmental monitoring project, check out our compatible Arduino development boards.
