Fermion: MEMS Ethanol EtOH Gas Detection Sensor (Breakout, 1-500ppm)
The Fermion MEMS Ethanol (EtOH) Gas Detection Sensor uses micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) technology for compact, low-power ethanol gas detection. With a detection range of 1–500 ppm, it provides qualitative measurement of ethanol concentration via an analogue voltage output.
The MEMS design delivers a small footprint (13 × 13 × 2.5 mm), low power consumption (<20 mA), minimal heat generation, short preheating time, and fast response recovery. It operates at 3.3–5 V, making it compatible with Arduino and other common microcontrollers.
Key Features
- MEMS Technology – Compact, low power, fast response and recovery
- 1–500 ppm Detection Range – Suitable for ethanol gas leak detection
- Analogue Voltage Output – Simple integration with any ADC-equipped microcontroller
- 3.3–5 V Operating Voltage – Arduino and Raspberry Pi compatible
- Low Power – Operating current <20 mA
- Long Lifespan – ≥5 years in air
Specifications
- Gas Detected – Ethanol (EtOH)
- Detection Range – 1–500 ppm
- Operating Voltage – 3.3–5 V
- Operating Current – <20 mA
- Output Signal – Analogue voltage
- Sensitivity – R0(air) / Rs(150 ppm EtOH) ≥ 3
- Operating Temperature – −10 to 50 °C
- Operating Humidity – 15–90% RH (non-condensing)
- Lifespan – ≥5 years (in air)
- Dimensions – 13 × 13 × 2.5 mm
Precautions
- Remove the protective film before use
- Avoid exposure to volatile silicon compounds (silicone adhesive, hair gel, silicone rubber)
- Avoid high concentrations of corrosive gases (H₂S, SOx, Cl₂, HCl)
- Prevent contamination from alkalis, alkali metal salts, and halogens
- Avoid contact with water, condensation, or freezing conditions
- After extended storage, preheat for at least 24 hours before use
- Do not use in safety-critical or life-support systems
Ideal For
- Breathalyser prototypes and alcohol detection
