发明名称 Tamper-resistant housing assembly
摘要 A tamper-resistant housing assembly may include an internal housing that is wrapped in a flex circuit. The flex circuit can cover an outside surface of the internal housing and can carry a conductive electrical trace. The electrical trace can define a continuous electrical path from a first contact pad to a second contact pad, such that piercing the an outer surface of the housing through to the inner surface of the housing interrupts the continuous electrical path.

主权项 1. A tamper-resistant housing assembly comprising: an electrically insulative housing comprising a housing body that defines a front end and a rear end that is spaced from the front end along a first direction, a first side and a second side that is spaced from the first side along a second direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction, and a bottom end and a top end that is spaced from the bottom end along a third direction that is substantially perpendicular to both the first and second directions, wherein the housing body defines an inner surface that at least partially defines an interior void and an outer surface that is opposite the inner surface, and at least a portion of each of the front end and the second side are open into the interior void; and a flex circuit including a main body portion and at least one tab that extends from the main body portion at a location at least proximate to the second side of the housing body, the main body portion attached to at least two select outer surfaces of the housing, the select outer surfaces of the housing defined by at least two of the first side, the top end, the bottom end, and the rear end, the flex circuit defining first and second electrical contact pads carried by the at least one tab, the flex circuit further defining a single electrical trace that extends from the first contact pad along the main body portion to the second contact pad, wherein the single electrical trace defines a continuous electrical path from the first contact pad to the second contact pad, such that piercing the select outer surface through to the inner surface interrupts the continuous electrical path, and the housing further includes a tab platform that extends from the housing body and at least partially along the open side, and the tab is attached to the tab platform.
