Abstract

The invention concerns an anti-interference advice for a housing ( 1 ) including at least two electrically conductive terminals ( 32, 33 ) distinctly positioned on an electronic card ( 30 ) and connected to processing means, a protective circuit ( 45 ) positioned relative to the two electrically conductive terminals ( 32, 33 ) in such a manner as to close the electrical circuit during the normal utilization position of the housing ( 1 ), the protective circuit ( 45 ), including means adapted for opening the electrical circuit closed in response to a deterioration in the protective circuit ( 45 ).

Claims (13)

1. An anti-intrusion device for a casing comprising:

at least two distinct electrically conducting terminals positioned on an electronic card and connected to processing means,

at least one mobile component including a protection circuit positioned facing both of the electrically conducting terminals and connecting the electrically conducting terminals so as to close an electric circuit in a normal position of use of the casing,

the protection circuit comprises at least one electrically conducting track positioned so as to be severed upon an intrusion by piercing or cutting at the mobile component,

the mobile component and the protection circuit being positioned so as to ensure the opening of the closed electric circuit following displacement of the casing relative to the device,

wherein the electrically conducting track is a mesh-shaped track, and the pitch of the mesh or the mesh-shaped track is at least one of less than 1 millimeter, less than 0.5 millimeter, and about equal to 0.3 millimeter.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the electrically conducting track is positioned in at least one substrate.

3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the substrate comprises at least two connection tracks positioned on one of the faces of the substrate, both connection tracks extending in a plane distinct from a plane in which the electrically conducting track extends and being connected to the latter through at least two bridges.

4. The device according to claim 3 , wherein the connection tracks are made in carbon and the electrically conducting track is made in copper.

5. The device according to claim 3 or 4 , wherein the connection tracks are positioned in a central region of the substrate.

6. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the substrate is flexible and totally covers the upper surface of the electronic card.

7. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the substrate comprises an opaque layer.

8. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the electrically conducting terminals of the electronic card have symmetry of revolution.
