Product Specification

P-type Metal Oxide Carbon Monoxide (CO) Sensor?Description
This sensor works well in ambient conditions and also in extreme temperatures and humidities where electrochemical sensors cannot survive. This metal oxide gas sensor is equipped with a filter that allows CO selectivity.

Unlike common n-type sensors, this p-type sensor has a large dynamic range, repeatable response, low humidity response and resistance increases in the presence of CO.

The change in resistance can be converted to an output voltage via a simple electrical circuit. Although the sensor can be used in constant temperature/ voltage mode, best response is achieved when the sensor is cycled between 400°C (sensing temperature) and 525°C (reset temperature).

Developed over many years, our p-type metal oxide gas sensors offer the following benefits:
? stable baseline
? low humidity sensitivity
? positive response to gases (safer response)

CO detection for extreme temperature or humidity enviroments

Each sensor type can be supplied in three housings:
??TO-5 metal?can, the most common format
??Plastic 6-pin housing?- frequently used with other metal oxide gas sensors
??Ex housing?- stainless steel 316 housing with UL, CSA, ATEX and IECEx approvals, unique for metal oxides, allowing use in hazardous areas without the need for an IS circuit
