Overview

The PS1-VOC-2000 is a high-sensitivity solid polymer electrochemical Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) sensor that provides an analog current output proportional to gas concentration. Designed for compact integration, it eliminates the risks associated with liquid electrolytes while maintaining a wide operating temperature range of -40 to 55 degrees Celsius.

Why Choose This Part

This sensor offers high sensitivity with a response of 25 nA per ppm and features a leak-proof solid polymer design for long-term reliability. Its individual calibration and small SMD footprint of 11.5mm by 6mm make it ideal for high-volume automated assembly in space-constrained applications.

Applications

Indoor Air Quality Monitoring
Integration into smart home thermostats and HVAC controllers to detect harmful VOC levels and trigger ventilation.
Industrial Safety Equipment
Used in portable gas detectors for workers in environments where solvent or chemical vapors are present.
Mobile Electronics
Small form factor allows for integration into mobile phones and wearable devices as an electronic nose for environmental sensing.

Key Specifications

Getting Started

To use this sensor, design a high-gain transimpedance amplifier (TIA) to convert the nano-ampere level output current into a measurable voltage. Ensure the PCB layout minimizes leakage currents near the three pins and refer to the provided individual calibration report to map the analog signal to ppm values.
