Description

Ever wonder how those Alcohol detector circuits (Breathalyzers) which are generally handled by Indian cops to catch drunk drivers works? Those Breathalyzer (Alcohol detectors devices) utilize the Alcohol Detection Gas Sensor MQ3, which you can buy online in India at Circuit Uncle- Home for IoT/Embedded/Robotics components and solutions. This module provides both digital and analog outputs that you can utilize to read through your favorite Arduino or Raspberry Pi. Long lifespan (durability), the simple drive circuit, and high sensitivity towards alcohol are some of its qualities.

This Alcohol Gas Sensor MQ3 module is a low-cost sensor module that can detect the presence of alcohol (at air concentrations ranging: 0.05 mg/L to 10 mg/L) (between 200 to 10000 ppm-parts per million). The MQ3 is made of SnO2 (Tin Dioxide), of whose conductivity is lower in clean air when compared to Alcohol vapor containing air. The conductivity of the sensor is in proportion to alcohol gas concentration. MQ3 has high selectivity towards alcohol, thus it’s readings don’t get affected by smoke, water vapor, and petrol.
