Joy-iT MQ5 Analag Gas sensor for natural gas

Joy-iT MQ5 Analag Gas sensor for natural gas

This analog gas sensor has a small heating part with an electronical chemical sensor.
It is suitable for indoor usage.
The sensor can output exact values only after warmup phase.

Caution: sensor gets hot while usage!
