Tamper switch structure and security sensor including the tamper switch structure

摘要

A tamper switch body is disposed in a housing of a PIR sensor. A tamper opening is formed at a position opposite a switch actuating member of the tamper switch body in a base plate of the PIR sensor. An elastic switch member is mounted in the tamper opening. The elastic switch member includes a pressure-receiving projection portion abutting a mounting plate, and depresses the switch actuating member through elastic deformation of the pressure-receiving projection portion by receiving a pushing force from the mounting plate in a state in which the PIR sensor is fixed to a wall surface. The elastic switch member seals the inside of the housing by closing the tamper opening, thus preventing a flood into the housing of the PIR sensor.
