Product Specification

SB-42A-00 Gas Sensor for Refrigerant Detection Description
The SB-42A-00 is a tin dioxide semiconductor gas sensor which has a high sensitivity to HFCs (e.g. Freon: R134a) with improved cross sensitivity to other gases.

This model is suitable for R134a, R410a, R407c and other new Freon family which contains R134a. A significant feature of low power consumption design 120mW) is advantageous for portable devices.

SB-42A-00 Gas Sensor for Refrigerant Detection Application
• Industrial gas leak detector
