Electrical contact is an electrical circuit component found in electrical switches, connectors, relays, and circuit breakers. Each contact may be a piece of electrically conductive material, mostly metal. When a pair of contacts touch, they pass an electrical current with a certain contact resistance, dependent on surface structure, surface chemistry and contact time; when the pair is separated by an insulating gap, then the pair does not pass any current. When the contact touches, the switch is closed, when the contacts are separated, the switch is open. The gap must be an insulating medium like air, oil, vacuum, etc. Contacts may be operated by people in push-buttons and switches, by mechanical pressure in sensors or machine cams, and electro-mechanically in relays. The surfaces where contacts touch is usually composed of metals such as silver or gold alloys, which have high electrical conductivity, wear resistance, and other properties.
