Alcohol Vapor Detector D.I.Y Kit for detecting alcohol vapor in household or workplace environment using the MQ3 sensor AK-330 Part Number: Level: Intermediate...
Description: This kit contains the required components to build yourself an alcohol vapor detector. This module is based on an NE555 I.C. and an MQ3 sensor. While being a simple soldering project for beginners, this kit can be used in a variety of small personal, educational or enterprise applications.
Bill of Materials: This package includes 16 pieces which are listed below along with their labels and quantity. Quantity Component Label Value / Type / Label R1, R2 1KΩ / (Brown, Black, Black, Brown) 120Ω / (Brown, Red, Black, Black) Resistors 5.1Ω...

b) The soldering iron temperature depends on the type of solder used. If you are using a typical 60/40 lead solder, depending on the thickness the temperature should be set anywhere between 370 to 500 °F (187 to 260 °C). If you are using a lead-free solder, increase above temperatures by 40 to 70 °F (5 to 20 °C).

Implementation: This module should be powered up by connecting a 5V 1A DC power supply to the J1 connector. This device has an onboard high power relay rated to 24VDC 2A; therefore, you can connect any peripheral device that you desire to the output of the relay so it can be turned ON and OFF during the operation of the sensor module.
