Gravity: STCC4 CO2 Sensor

SKU: SEN0678

The Gravity STCC4 CO2 Sensor utilizes the Sensirion STCC4 chip to provide direct CO2 measurements based on thermal conductivity principles. Unlike other sensors that estimate eCO2, this approach significantly enhances measurement reliability. It includes an onboard Sensirion SHT40 temperature and humidity sensor for compensation, allowing for simultaneous temperature, humidity, and CO2 readings. This compact sensor is ideal for projects with limited space and environmental monitoring applications. Key features include direct CO2 measurement, onboard temperature and humidity compensation, and selectable I2C address options. The sensor has a perforated PCB to prevent heat interference from adjacent components, ensuring accurate thermal conductivity measurements. Specifications include a supply voltage range of 3.3–5 V, a measurement range of 400–5000 ppm, and an accuracy of ±100 ppm ±10% m.v. within the specified range. The response time is 20 seconds. The pinout includes VCC, GND, SCL, SDA, and options for I2C address selection and enabling/disabling temperature/humidity compensation. This sensor is a versatile choice for various applications, ensuring reliable performance in compact settings.

  • Product Overview

    The Gravity STCC4 CO2 Sensor is built around the Sensirion STCC4 chip. Using thermal conductivity principles, the sensor directly measures CO2 concentration instead of estimating eCO2 from other gases, significantly improving measurement reliability.

    An onboard Sensirion SHT40 temperature and humidity sensor provides temperature and humidity compensation; temperature, humidity and CO2 readings can be obtained from the same module.

    This sensor is well suited for projects with limited space and for environmental monitoring applications.

    Note: Do not expose the yellow breathable membrane on the STCC4 chip to organic solvents or damage it with sharp objects.
