Figure 2. sketch oI the gas sensor with ceramic plane structure, (a) top side and (b)
back side; (c) sketch oI the lead wires between encapsulation and ceramic tube (with
its TO-5 Cap removed).
The 1P-41A Indoor air quality sensor has ceramic plane structure, and it`s sketched in
Iigure 2. A pair oI gold electrodes are printed on the Iront size oI plane with area oI 22 mm
2
(or 11 mm
2
) (as shown in Iigure 2 (a)), and sensitive materials are covered between electrodes.
Heater coil is Iabricated on the back side oI the ceramic plane (Iigure 2 (b)). The heater coil can
heat the ceramic plane up to an elevated temperature (200-400
o
C), at which the sensing material
has great reactivity. Electric characteristics oI the sensitive material are measured by the pair
electrodes. Figure 2 (c) demonstrates the sketch oI lead wires between encapsulation and ceramic
tube. The details oI size oI 1P-41A Indoor air quality sensor are shown in Iigure 3.

As shown in Iigure 4, a direct current voltage source is connected to the heater lead oI gas
sensor (lead 3 and lead 4). In order to provide an elevated operating temperature Ior gas sensor,
voltage oI 5V is applied to them. AIter the sensor is heated Ior 3~5 min, the sensor is warmed up
and sensitive. The circuit leads (lead 1 and lead 2) is connected with a load resistor (R
L
), typically
10 K. Voltage oI 5V DC is applied to lead 1 and lead 5. When sensor is exposed to small amount
