PRODUCT INFORMATION

TGS 2610-C00 - for the detection of LP Gas


Features: Applications:
* Quick response * Portable LP gas detectors
* Low power consumption * LP gas and vapor detection
* Long life and low cost
* Uses simple electrical circuit

TGS2610-C00 is a semiconductor type gas sensor which combines very


high sensitivity to LP gas with low power consumption and long life. Due to
miniaturization of its sensing chip, TGS2610-C00 requires a heater current of
only 56mA and the device is housed in a standard TO-5 package.
TGS2610-C00 possesses small size and quick gas response, making it suitable
for gas leakage checkers.
The TGS2610-C00 is able to satisfy the requirements of performance standards
such as UL1484 and EN50194.
