The TGS2616-C01 is a hydrogen detection sensor designed for transformer oil maintenance. It features a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) type sensing element, which is housed in a TO-5 metal package. The sensor is highly selective to hydrogen and minimizes interference from gases like acetylene. It operates by detecting changes in conductivity caused by hydrogen concentration in the air, converting these changes into an output signal. The sensor has a detection range of 30 to 4000 ppm and is suitable for use in environments where hydrogen detection is critical. The sensor requires specific operating conditions, including heater and circuit voltages, and a load resistor to optimize performance. It is designed for reliable and accurate hydrogen detection in various applications.

Use Cases

  • Hydrogen detection for transformer oil maintenance

Capabilities

  • Detects hydrogen using an MOS-type sensing principle.
  • Converts conductivity changes into an output signal using a simple electrical circuit.
  • Typical detection range: 30–4000 ppm hydrogen.
Figaro Engineering Inc. Figaro Engineering Inc., founded in 1968 and headquartered in Japan, became the first company in the world to develop and commercialize semiconductor gas sensors, and today offers a dedicated line of hydrogen gas sensors to enhance safety across the hydrogen economy. Figaro's hydrogen sensors (including the TGS2616 and TGS6812/FCM6812 series) are ideal for detecting hydrogen leaks in fuel cell power generation systems, hydrogen production plants, hydrogen storage and transportation facilities, and hydrogen-powered vehicles, using tin dioxide (SnO2) semiconductor sensing elements whose conductivity changes in the presence of hydrogen gas. The company's newest TGS2616 hydrogen sensor, developed with a proprietary sensing element, offers highly selective response to hydrogen with minimal interference from alcohol-based gases, addressing the safety needs of an expanding hydrogen energy market spanning fuel cell vehicles, stationary fuel cells for data centers and telecommunications, and oil and gas pipelines. Figaro's FCM6812 pre-calibrated module (built on the TGS6812 sensor) provides linear analog output proportional to gas concentration with self-diagnosis capability, and has been used for hydrogen leak detection in stationary fuel cells throughout Asia, North America, and Europe, with New Cosmos Electric Co. having acquired a partial ownership stake in Figaro in 2016.
