TGS2611-C00

The Figaro TGS2611-C00 is a semiconductor gas sensor utilizing MOS technology, specifically designed for the detection of methane and natural gas. It offers high sensitivity to methane, low power consumption, and a quick response time, making it suitable for applications such as portable gas detectors and gas leak detectors for appliances.

The sensor operates with a heater voltage of 5.0V DC and a circuit voltage of 5.0V DC. It has a typical heater resistance of approximately 59Ω at room temperature and requires a heater current of 56mA, resulting in a heater power consumption of around 280mW. The sensor resistance in 5000ppm methane is typically between 0.68kΩ and 6.8kΩ, with a sensitivity ratio ranging from 0.54 to 0.66.

Packaged in a standard TO-5 metal can, the TGS2611-C00 is designed for reliable performance. Its typical detection range is specified as 1-25% LEL (Lower Explosive Limit). The sensor is also noted to satisfy performance standards such as UL1484 and EN50194, and is RoHS3 compliant.

Applications include safety measures for lithium-ion batteries, gas leak detection in domestic settings, and portable gas detection equipment. The sensor's simple electrical circuit requirement and long life contribute to its cost-effectiveness.
