Hydrogen sensor

    The sensing element is comprised of a metal oxide semiconductor layer formed on an alumina substrate of a sensing chip together with an integrated heater, and it is housed in a standard TO-5 package. In the presence of a detectable gas, the sensor's conductivity increases depending on the gas concentration in the air. A simple electrical circuit can convert the change in conductivity to an output signal which corresponds to the gas concentration.

    TGS2616-C00 has a newly developed sensing element which reduces the influence of interference gases such as alcohol, resulting in highly selective response to hydrogen.
