Selected
dispositif / contact antisabotage
As Elysée quite correctly says, 'antisabotage' is one of the ways this is often translated.
The problem when it is abbreviated to just 'tamper' like this, instead of 'tamper-switch' etc. (and of course it should really be ANTI-tamper!), is that you can't be sure exactly what type of device it is, hence my suggestion of the non-committal 'dispositif'
If you DO know what sort of thing it is (very often a microswiitch = contact), of course you should use the appropriate word to go with.

anti-sabotage
Le terme "sabotage" peut paraître un peu excessif lorsque l'on parle de simples protections visant à prévenir des manipulations non-autorisées de commandes et d'interrupteurs, mais c'est bien la terminologie correcte. Si c'est trop fort pour le contexte, Termium propose aussi "anti-tentative de détérioration" mais c'est un peu lourd, quoique peut-être plus précis.
