PCB MOUNTED COVER ACTIVATED INTRUSION DETECTION SWITCH

摘要

An intrusion detection switch is attached directly to a printed circuit board and utilized within an enclosure. Wires are not used to extend the switch to the top of the enclosure. An extension mechanism is used to extend a triggering portion of the intrusion detection switch to an engaging surface at the top of the enclosure. When the enclosure lid is properly shut, the engaging service is directed downward, thereby pushing an activation switch of the intrusion detection switch down. Switches may be assembled to an internal main printed circuit board where the switch is completely protected. Therefore, routing and maintaining of wiring to a switch is eliminated. A linkage system or mechanism can be mounted to the main chassis of the enclosure and act as an interface to an enclosure top cover. This eliminates potential damage to switches and wires and provides for a more reliable switch.

主权项

1. An intrusion detection mechanism, comprising:
a enclosure having a bottom, front panel, back panel, and two side panels; a printed circuit board having circuitry for managing data; an intrusion detection mechanism attached to the printed circuit board; an extension member extending from the intrusion detection mechanism to above top surface of an enclosure panel, the extension mechanism forced downward towards the intrusion detection mechanism when a lid is placed over the top of the enclosure.
