AF56 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Amphenol Thermometrics AF56 is a propane (C3H8) gas sensor designed with a thick film sensing element. It features a constant heater voltage and tight resistance tolerance, offering high sensitivity with low humidity sensitivity.

 

Key technical specifications include an operating temperature range of -10 to +55°C and a storage temperature range of -30 to +60°C. The sensor utilizes a semi-conducting oxide sensing element and a platinum thick film heater. Its rated power consumption is less than 15mW, with a rated working voltage of 5V DC or 5V RMS AC (max 12V).

 

The sensor's case is made of Nylon 66, and the pins are a nickel alloy. It incorporates a double 100-mesh stainless gauze (SUS316) flame arrestor. The sensor resistance in 2000 ppm of methane in clean air ranges from 1.5k to 6.0k Ω, with a gas sensitivity ratio of 0.08 to 0.25.

 

Typical applications for the AF56 sensor include gas leak detectors and gas appliances.
