This dust sensor is designed for detecting fine airborne particles, such as those from cigarette smoke, to help monitor air quality in various settings.
In practical use, it's suitable for projects like building a PM2.5 detector or integrating into air purifiers, where it provides real-time particle level readings to inform adjustments and improve indoor environments.
- Detects particles larger than 0.8μm for precise air quality assessment
- Features low power consumption at a maximum of 20mA, making it efficient for battery-powered devices
- Offers analog voltage output that correlates linearly with dust density for easy data interpretation
- Includes an embedded voltage boost circuit, supporting a wide power supply range of 2.5V to 5.5V
- Compact size of 63.2mm x 41.3mm x 21.1mm for versatile installation in tight spaces
- Compatible with microcontrollers via simple analog and digital pins
Light specifications include a sensitivity of 0.5V per 100ug/m3 and a measurement range up to 500ug/m3. This sensor fits well for hobbyists, environmental enthusiasts, and developers seeking reliable air monitoring solutions.
