SGP40 VOC Sensor Breakout for Indoor Air Quality 2.54mm Pitch
The 7Semi SGP40 VOC Sensor Breakout is a compact indoor air-quality sensing module based on the Sensirion SGP40 gas sensor. It detects volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and outputs a digital VOC Index via I²C. With a 2.54mm header for easy prototyping, this breakout is ideal for smart-home systems, ventilation control, air purifiers, HVAC automation, and IoT environmental monitoring applications.
