TECHNICAL INFORMATION FOR TGS3870
Technical Information for Combination Methane and
Carbon Monoxide Sensors
The Figaro TGS3870 sensor is a
new small bead-type metal oxide
semiconductor. The sensor ’s
miniature size and cyclic heater
operation enable its single
sensing element to be highly
selective to both carbon monoxide
and methane and to show low
power consumption.
