Abstract

The invention relates to a mechanically closing, electric microswitching contact (1) comprising two electrically conductive contact elements (7, 8) whose respective contact surfaces come into contact with one another. According to the invention, at least one of the contact surfaces is at least partially comprised of highly-doped conductive diamond, silicon carbide, gallium nitride, boron nitride, aluminum gallium nitride, and/or aluminum nitride.
