MQ-5 Natural Gas Sensor Module for Arduino and Microcontroller Projects – Methane, LPG & Gas Leakage Detection Sensor

The MQ5  Natural Gas Sensor Module is a high-sensitivity gas detection module designed for detecting LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), methane, natural gas, and other combustible gases. It is widely used in gas leakage detection systems, safety alarms, automation projects, and IoT-based monitoring applications.

This module uses a sensitive semiconductor gas sensor that changes its resistance according to the concentration of detected gases. It provides both analog output for measuring gas concentration levels and digital output with an adjustable threshold setting for alarm-based applications.

The MQ5 gas sensor module operates with a wide voltage range and is compatible with popular development platforms like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP8266, ESP32, and other microcontrollers. Its compact PCB design includes onboard components for easy connection and integration into electronic projects.

With fast response time, reliable detection, and low power operation, the MQ5 sensor is an excellent choice for DIY safety systems, industrial monitoring, smart home projects, and educational electronics applications.
