ABSTRACT:
A security device mounted on a support including a housing with a removable section and a base section. A terminal assembly having first and second terminals is disposed on a detachable portion of the housing that is directly mounted to the support. A printed circuit board and a pin assembly having first and second pins is mounted in the removable housing section. Attaching the removable housing section to the device inserts the first and second pins into the first and second terminals respectively. A conductive material provides electrical communication between the first and second pins whereby a tamper detection circuit can be defined between the first and second terminals. Disengagement of one of the first and second pins from its respective terminal opens the tamper detection circuit. Detachment of the removable housing section disengages the pins from the terminals thereby opening the tamper detection circuit. Similarly, separation of the detachable portion and terminal assembly disposed thereon from the remainder of the device also opens the tamper detection circuit.
