MQ-3 Alcohol detector sensor Module for Ethanol and Breath Analyze
The MQ-3 Alcohol and Ethanol Gas Detector Sensor Module is a high-sensitivity electrochemical device engineered for real-time breath analysis and industrial vapor tracking. Driven by a rugged SnO2 (Tin Dioxide) semiconductor layer, this sensor boasts exceptional sensitivity to alcohol vapor and ethanol concentrations, with minimal cross-sensitivity to gasoline fumes or cooking smoke. The onboard carrier breakout board incorporates a versatile dual-signal layout: a 0-5V Analog Output (AO) for real-time concentration tracking and logging, and a TTL Digital Output (DO) driven by an onboard LM393 voltage comparator with an adjustable threshold potentiometer for immediate safety relay or buzzer triggers. Operating on a standard 5V power supply, it is the definitive hardware pick for DIY digital breathalyzers, smart ignition interlock grids, distillery safety monitoring, and student robotics projects using Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi.
