MQ8 Hydrogen Gas Sensor Module
The MQ8 Hydrogen Gas Sensor Module is a reliable and sensitive sensor designed for the detection of hydrogen (H₂) gas leaks in various environments. Whether you’re working on Arduino projects, smart gas monitoring systems, or industrial safety devices, this sensor ensures early detection of dangerous hydrogen concentrations.
Operating on 5V DC, the MQ8 features both analog and digital outputs, making it easy to integrate into a wide range of microcontroller platforms including Arduino, ESP32, NodeMCU, and Raspberry Pi. It includes an adjustable potentiometer to set the gas detection threshold based on your project’s sensitivity requirements.
The MQ8 is widely used in hydrogen-powered vehicles, battery storage rooms, laboratories, and gas detection systems where monitoring H₂ presence is critical. Its high sensitivity and stable performance make it perfect for IoT safety applications, real-time gas monitoring, and DIY electronics in Johar Town, Lahore, and beyond.
This sensor is now available at ElectroWay – your one-stop-shop for gas sensors, robotics, and STEM electronics.
