Contact bounce
The time during switching in which electrical instability (bounce) caused by the rebound of the contacts is observed. Relative mass of the contacts, forces and frequency of supporting members are all components that determine the extent of bounce. Total transfer time consists of the time for the contacts to close plus bounce. Transfer time should be rapid so natural bounce time is short.
