New, ultra-compact electrochemical-type carbon monoxide sensor

Figaro Engineering Inc. is pleased to announce its latest offering—the ultra-compact (13.9mm in diameter x 5.0mm in thickness) TGS5141 carbon monoxide sensor. This new sensor offers high repeatability/selectivity to CO with linear relationship between CO gas concentration and sensor output. This UL recognized sensor conforms to UL2034, EN50291, and EN54-31 requirements.

Figaro’s TGS5141 is a battery operable electrochemical sensor which uses a unique electrolyte that eliminates the need for a water reservoir. It is simple to calibrate and has a long life span. It is much smaller than sensors requiring a liquid electrolyte. With its ultra-compactsize, this sensor is the ideal choice for size-oriented applications such as portable CO detectors, small residential CO detectors, and multi-sensor fire detectors. OEM customers will find individual data printed on each sensor in bar code form, enabling users to skip the costly gas calibration process and allowing for individual sensor tracking.
