MQ8-Hydrogen Gas Sensor Module
Original price was: ₹ 165.00.₹ 135.00Current price is: ₹ 135.00. (Incl. GST)
Quick Review:
- Operating Voltage: 5V DC (typically).
- Sensor Resistance: The resistance of the sensor element changes with gas concentration, usually between a few kΩ and several hundred kΩ.
- Sensitivity Range: Can detect hydrogen gas concentrations from 100 to 10,000 ppm.
- Response Time: The sensor typically responds within a few seconds to changes in gas concentration, but it requires 1-2 minutes of preheating for optimal performance.

The MQ8 Hydrogen Gas Sensor Module is a highly sensitive sensor designed specifically to detect the presence of hydrogen gas (H₂) in the air. It is widely used in various applications, including safety systems, gas leak detection, and industrial monitoring, due to hydrogen’s flammability and its use in various industrial processes, including fuel cells and hydrogen storage.
Key Features:
- Gas Detection: The MQ8 sensor is designed to detect hydrogen gas (Hâ‚‚), a colorless, odorless, and highly flammable gas. It can also detect low concentrations of other gases such as methane, carbon monoxide (CO), and alcohol, but its primary application is for hydrogen detection.
- High Sensitivity: The MQ8 sensor offers high sensitivity to hydrogen, making it ideal for detecting even low concentrations of this gas. This is particularly important in environments where hydrogen gas is used or stored, to prevent potential leaks that could lead to dangerous situations.
- Analog Output: The MQ8 provides an analog output that corresponds to the concentration of hydrogen gas detected in the environment. The output voltage increases in proportion to the concentration of gas present.
- Digital Output: In addition to the analog output, some versions of the MQ8 also feature a digital output, which is a simple on/off signal that can be used to trigger alarms or control systems once the gas concentration exceeds a certain threshold.
- Low Power Consumption: Designed to be energy-efficient, this sensor can operate in battery-powered applications or systems that require continuous monitoring over extended periods.
- Preheating Time: Like other MQ sensors, the MQ8 requires a preheating time of about 1-2 minutes to stabilize and ensure reliable and accurate readings.
- Wide Detection Range: It can detect hydrogen gas concentrations from approximately 100 to 10,000 ppm (parts per million), which makes it suitable for both low-level detection and high-concentration gas leaks.
How It Works:
- The MQ8 sensor works by using a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) that reacts with hydrogen gas when it comes into contact with the sensor’s surface.
- The sensor has an internal heating element that needs to reach a specific temperature for proper function. When hydrogen gas interacts with the heated surface of the sensor, it causes a chemical reaction that changes the sensor’s resistance.
- The resistance change is then converted into an electrical signal that is sent as an analog voltage (proportional to the gas concentration). The digital output can be used to trigger an alert or take action when the concentration exceeds a set threshold.
Technical Specifications:
- Operating Voltage: 5V DC (typically).
- Sensor Resistance: The resistance of the sensor element changes with gas concentration, usually between a few kΩ and several hundred kΩ.
- Sensitivity Range: Can detect hydrogen gas concentrations from 100 to 10,000 ppm.
- Response Time: The sensor typically responds within a few seconds to changes in gas concentration, but it requires 1-2 minutes of preheating for optimal performance.
- Heater Resistance: Typically around 33Ω (varies slightly depending on the manufacturer).
Module Features:
- Analog Output: Provides a continuous voltage that increases with hydrogen concentration, suitable for continuous monitoring and measurement.
- Digital Output: A high/low signal used to trigger alarms or activate other safety mechanisms when gas concentrations exceed a certain threshold.
- Heater Element: The internal heater requires warm-up time to stabilize for accurate detection of hydrogen gas.
Applications:
- Hydrogen Gas Leak Detection: Ideal for detecting hydrogen leaks in hydrogen storage facilities, fuel cells, battery systems, and industrial applications where hydrogen is used as a fuel or reactant.
- Safety Systems: Integrated into safety systems to monitor and alert when hydrogen concentrations reach unsafe levels, preventing potential explosions or fires.
- Fuel Cell Monitoring: In hydrogen fuel cell systems, the MQ8 sensor is used to ensure safe operation by detecting hydrogen leaks in the system.
- Air Quality Monitoring: Can be used to monitor air quality in environments where hydrogen is used or produced, such as laboratories, factories, or energy plants.
- DIY and Prototyping Projects: The MQ8 sensor is widely used in Arduino-based projects or other microcontroller-based applications for hobbyists and developers working on gas detection systems.
