<p>A device (10) for protecting stored sensitive data includes a housing (12) formed by a top plate (P1), a base plate (P6) and a four side plates (P2-P5), each plate carrying a meandering electrically conductive path segment. A printed circuit board (14) is mounted in the housing (12) and carries electronic circuit components including a memory (110) for the stored sensitive data. The four side plates (P2-P5) are disposed in an end-to-side configuration. Three of the side plates (P2,P4,P5) are mounted between the top and base plates (P1,P6), and the fourth side plate (P3) is mounted between the top plate (P1) and the PCB (14), which projects from the housing (12) at this location. The conductive path segments on the side plates (P2-P5) are interconnected via frangible electrically conductive epoxy material (40) and conductive tracks on the PCB, except that the conductive path segment on the fourth plate (P3) is connected directly to the conductive path segment on an adjacent plate (P2) by a 6-sided interconnection block (250). If the adhesive binding the housing components together is removed, side plate pivoting is prevented by the end-to-side disposition and/or the frangible epoxy material (40) and/or the interconnection block (250). <IMAGE></p> |
