Winsen Electronics manufactures an air quality sensor and VOC sensor MQ138 for IAQ monitor applications. The sensitive material of the MQ138 gas sensor is SnO2, which with lower conductivity in clean air. When VOC gas exists, the sensor’s conductivity increases, and the gas concentration rises. Users can convert the conductivity change to the corresponding output signal of gas concentration through a simple circuit. MQ138 gas sensor has a high sensitivity to toluene, acetone, alcohol, and methanol, and also can monitor hydrogen and other organic vapour well. It can detect kinds of organic gases and is a kind of low-cost sensor for varieties of applications.

Applications :

It is widely used in domestic VOC gas alarms, industrial VOC gas leakage alarms, and portable VOC gas detectors.


Package Includes:

1 x Winsen MQ138 VOC Gas Sensor

Setup Guide

1
Identify the pins
Locate VCC (power), GND (ground), and data pins (SDA/SCL for I2C, MOSI/MISO for SPI, or TX/RX for UART). Refer to the pinout diagram on the product page.
2
Wire to your microcontroller
Connect VCC to 3.3V or 5V (check the module spec), GND to GND, and data pins to the appropriate GPIO pins on your Arduino or Raspberry Pi.
3
Install libraries
In Arduino IDE, go to Sketch → Include Library → Manage Libraries and search for the sensor library. Install the recommended version.
4
Upload example sketch
Open File → Examples → [library name] → Basic Example. Upload to your board and open Serial Monitor to view output.
5
Calibrate if needed
Some sensors (temperature, humidity, distance) may need a short warm-up period or calibration. Run the calibration sketch if provided.
