Overview

The PS1-VOC-200 is a high-sensitivity electrochemical sensor designed for detecting Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in a range of 0-200ppm. It utilizes a three-electrode amperometric architecture that offers a fast response time and stable performance without the risk of electrolyte leakage. This sensor is individually calibrated and provided with a test report to ensure measurement accuracy within 1 percent.

Why Choose This Part

The sensor features a small 11.5mm footprint and an ultra-low power amperometric design, making it ideal for battery-operated devices. It provides high resolution and sensitivity (55 nA/ppm) while maintaining stability across a broad pressure range of 800 mbar to 1.2 bar. The leak-proof solid polymer electrolyte design eliminates common failure modes found in traditional liquid electrochemical sensors.

Applications

Indoor Air Quality Monitoring
Integration into smart home HVAC systems to detect harmful VOC levels and automate ventilation.
Industrial Gas Detection
Portable and stationary safety equipment for monitoring chemical exposure in manufacturing environments.
Mobile Gas Sensing
Compact form factor suitable for integration into specialized mobile devices for real-time environmental analysis.
Outdoor Pollution Tracking
Wide operating temperature range of -40C to 55C allows for reliable deployment in varying outdoor climates.

Getting Started

To interface with the PS1-VOC-200, use a high-precision potentiostat circuit or a specialized transimpedance amplifier to convert the nano-ampere current output into a voltage for a 16-bit ADC. Engineers should refer to the individual calibration report for specific sensitivity coefficients to implement accurate software-side compensation. Ensure the PCB design provides adequate ventilation for the 3-pin package while protecting the sensitive analog traces from EMI.
