Product introduction

  • MC116 catalytic element product description

  • The MC116 catalytic element operates on the principle of catalytic combustion effect. It consists of a detection element and a compensation element paired to form two arms of a bridge circuit. When encountering combustible gas, the resistance of the detection element increases, causing a change in the bridge output voltage. This voltage change increases proportionally with gas concentration. The compensation element provides reference and temperature/humidity compensation.
