Product Specification

NO-D4 Nitric Oxide Sensor (NO Sensor) Description
Alphasense Nitric Oxide gas sensors operate using proven fuel cell technology.

NO-D4 Nitric Oxide Sensor size:
miniature, with proven long-term performance. Sensors designed for the next generation of portable gas detectors.

The NO range provides OEMs with reliable sensors for use in a number of high volume applications. Strong signal levels combined with low zero current allows resolution to 200 parts per billion (ppb) whilst giving linear outputs to as high as 250ppm. The sensors are suitable for inclusion in fixed installation sensing heads, portable safety instruments, urban air monitoring and stack gas analysers.

Alphasense NO sensors provide a significant improvement in stability of response to transient relative humidity changes.

The NO sensors offer our electrolyte leak-free guarantee and reliable long-term detection performance. The leakproof housing is moulded with a colour coded top for ease of identification.

NO-D4 Nitric Oxide Sensor (NO Sensor) Key Features & Benefits:
Small Footprint
Including the world’s smallest two-gas sensor, only 14.5mm diameter, this family of sensors allows significant savings in gas detector size.

Reduced Height
8.4mm high, making the sensor ideal for low profile instruments.

Low Weight
Less than 1.5 grams with excellent shock resistance.

Good Connectivity
Uses industry standard, low cost, Molex sockets for direct board insertion.

Reduced Costs
High quality design with a significant reduction in the cost per measured gas, allied to reduced manufacturing costs are passed on to OEMs
