Product Specification

SO2-D4 Sulfur Dioxide Sensor SO2 Sensor Description
Alphasense Sulfur Dioxide gas sensors operate using proven fuel cell technology.

SO2-D4 Sulfur Dioxide Sensor size:
miniature, with proven long-term performance. Sensors designed for the next generation of portable gas detectors.

The SO2 range provides OEMs with reliable sensors for use in a variety of applications. Strong signal levels combined with low zero current allows resolution below 1ppm and an operating range for safety applications up to 2,000ppm. The sensors are designed for use in both fixed site and portable instrumentation.

The SO2 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.

Miniature Size Sulfur Dioxide 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.
