Yes, you may know what a contactor is.

In the meantime, you could contact a contactor contractor & ask about contactor's contacts.

The other solution is to ask other members in your engineering branch...or would that mean "loss of face"?

A contactor is just a relay with heavier duty contacts.

This answer took even fewer keystrokes than the previous snarky ones.
