Description: 1. The MQ-4 Natural Gas Sensor Module is an electronic component designed for detecting methane (CH4) or natural gas in various applications, including methane-based CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) systems, gas leak detection, and air quality monitoring. 2. Key Features: This module incorporates a high sensitivity MQ-4 gas sensor element, capable of detecting methane concentrations from 50ppm to 5000ppm with an accuracy of ±10%. It operates on a working voltage range of 3.3V to 5.5V DC and has a low power consumption of around 20mA. 3. Sensing Principle: The MQ-4 module employs the principle of conductometric sensing, where a change in resistance within the gas sensor element occurs when methane comes into contact with the catalytic sensing material (Tin Oxide) present on the sensor's surface. 4. Interface and Connectivity: The MQ-4 module features analog output, making it easy to interface with various microcontrollers, development boards, or data loggers via a simple voltage divider
