Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Sensor Analog
Active27 in stock

Overview

The PS4-VOC-10 is a high-precision electrochemical sensor designed to detect Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in concentrations up to 10ppm. It features an analog current output with a sensitivity of 55 +/- 15 nA/ppm, packaged in a compact 20mm x 20mm SMD form factor for automated PCB assembly. This sensor is optimized for stable performance across a wide temperature range of -40C to 55C.

Why Choose This Part

The sensor offers a linear analog output and high resolution, making it suitable for 16-bit measurement systems requiring 1 percent accuracy. Its SMD package reduces manufacturing costs compared to traditional pin-through-hole electrochemical cells, while its broad operating temperature range ensures reliability in harsh industrial environments.

Applications

Indoor Air Quality Monitoring
Detecting low-level VOC emissions from furniture, paints, and solvents in smart home or office HVAC systems.
Industrial Safety Systems
Monitoring hazardous gas leakage in chemical processing plants or laboratories where VOC exposure must be limited.
Environmental Monitoring Stations
Portable or fixed sensor nodes used to track atmospheric pollutants in urban environments.
Leak Detection
Identifying minor leaks in industrial storage containers or transport pipelines containing volatile chemicals.

Key Specifications

Type Volatile Organic Compound (VOC)
Oxygen Range 800 mbar ~ 1.2 bar
Operating Temperature -40degC ~ 55degC

Getting Started

To interface with the PS4-VOC-10, design a high-gain transimpedance amplifier (TIA) circuit to convert the nanoampere-level current output into a measurable voltage for an ADC. Ensure the PCB layout includes guarding around the high-impedance analog signal traces to maintain measurement integrity. Engineers should implement temperature compensation in software to account for sensitivity shifts across the -40C to 55C range.
