Tamper-resistant switch

A tamper-resistant switch is like a special button that adults use to turn on and off things like lights or fans in a room. It has a cover over it that makes it harder for curious children or people who want to hurt themselves to get to the switch.

Imagine a cover that has a lock on it. When an adult needs to use the switch, they can unlock the cover and press the button to turn on/off whatever they need to control. But, if a child tries to remove the cover or push the button, they won't be able to do it easily because the cover is designed to resist tampering.

The tamper-resistant switch is like a safety guard that protects people, especially kids, who are not supposed to use the switch from accidentally turning on or off something they're not supposed to. It is made to be strong and durable, so the cover won't break easily if someone tries to mess with it. This switch is very useful and important in homes, schools, hospitals, and other public places where people need to be safe from harm.
