Introduction

This advanced MEMS ethanol sensor provides reliable qualitative detection of alcohol vapors (1-500ppm), perfect for breathalyzer development and industrial safety applications.


Ultra-Compact Design

At just 13×13×2.5mm, this micro sensor fits seamlessly into portable devices and wearables while consuming ＜20mA power - ideal for battery-powered applications.


Fast Response Technology

MEMS construction enables rapid detection with minimal preheating time, delivering immediate vapor concentration alerts when alcohol is present.


Multi-Purpose Detection

Sensitive to both ethanol (EtOH) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making it versatile for breath analysis, food quality monitoring, and industrial safety systems.


Simple Integration

Standard 3.3-5V operation with analog output connects effortlessly to Arduino and other microcontrollers via the included breakout board.


Long Operational Life

Robust MEMS technology ensures ≥5 years of continuous service in normal conditions when properly maintained.


The MEMS series currently encompasses 11 different types of gas sensors (HCHO, CO, CH4, VOC, NH3, H2S, EtOH, Smoke, Odor, H2, NO2), which can be combined as per specific requirements.

Please note: This sensor is capable of only qualitative measurements. For quantitative measurements, kindly consider purchasing the Gravity: Factory Calibrated Electrochemical Gas Sensor Series.

Precautions for use

  • Kindly remove the protective film before usage.
  • To prevent exposure to volatile silicon compounds vapors (such as silicone adhesive, hair gel, silicone rubber, or other locations where volatile silicon compounds are present).
  • Avoid exposure to high concentrations of corrosive gases (such as H2S, SOX, Cl2, HCl, etc.).
  • Prevent contamination from alkalis, alkali metal salts, and halogens.
  • Refrain from prolonged exposure to extreme environments (such as high temperatures, high humidity, high pollution).
  • Avoid contact with water, condensation, and freezing.
  • Minimize excessive vibration, impact, and dropping.
  • Please refrain from employing this module in systems that involve personal safety concerns.
  • For extended periods of non-usage, it is advisable to preheat the module for at least 24 hours.
