Amphenol SGX Sensortech VQ21T Combustible Gas Sensor Elements

Amphenol SGX Sensortech VQ21T Combustible Gas Sensor Elements are part of the VQ21 range of high power, low voltage, poison resistant detectors for general purpose applications. The VQ21T sensor elements are particularly suitable for fixed-point systems where the consideration of power consumption is not an overriding factor. These elements may be used to detect most flammable gases and vapors and, in particular, can detect methane in air mixtures with concentrations from 0.1% up to 5% (100% LEL). The VQ21T Sensor Elements provide several orders of magnitude longer life than a standard VQ1 pellistor.
