Overview
Tamper Detection Sensors (Custom Product)
Product Features
-
Piezo Film Sensor Type : Tamper Detection
-
Sensor Options : FIPS 140-2 Level 4 Capable
This sensor comes in the form of a custom designed, multi-layer laminate which can be wrapped or folded over or around the area to be protected. Once properly wrapped and connected, any attempt to physically open or penetrate the enclosure will be detected. Detection of a tamper attempt can be used to trigger the erasure of critical security information such as encryption keys or to render the overall system inoperable. These custom tamper detection sensors are designed to achieve FIPS 140-2 level 4 physical security compliance to meet your specific requirements.
TE’s tamper detection sensors can detect and report any breach of a physical perimeter that has been established around a defined asset. This includes breach by cutting tools, drills, thermal attacks, projectiles, and chemical attacks. It can also detect and report any attempt to remove, alter, bypass, disconnect, or disturb the tamper detection sensor itself. This includes interference from solvents, mechanical peeling, short circuit, rewire, and alteration of output signals.

Construction
The tamper detection sensor is a combination of two sensing techniques, both of which are placed onto a single piezo film substrate. This substrate has unique properties which enhance their effectiveness. Note: the piezo film does not utilize piezoelectric properties.
The printed tamper detection sensor is bonded to an aluminum housing using a thermal setting adhesive.
Attachment to Enclosure
One side of the tamper detection sensor will have a thermal setting adhesive that provides a reliable attachment to an enclosure. The sensor is designed to have various folding features that provide complete coverage. Virtually every portion of the enclosure surface is covered by the sensor.
With the evolution of technology and electronics, and the accelerating growth of data, this requires reliable and effective means to detect and protect against physical tampering. A security breach is one of the most severe threats to an organization's network security, that could leave them with a tarnished reputation, revenue loss, downtime, and possible legal and compliance consequences. With a long-standing history of 35 years in the tamper sensor business, our technical capability and engineering experience confirms that your data won’t fall into the wrong hands.
