Contact bounce

Contact animation (also alleged chatter) is a accepted botheration with automated switches and relays. Switch and broadcast contacts are usually fabricated of adaptable metals that are affected into acquaintance by an actuator. When the contacts bang together, their drive and animation act calm to could cause bounce. The aftereffect is a rapidly pulsed electric accepted instead of a apple-pie alteration from aught to abounding current. The aftereffect is usually unimportant in ability circuits, but causes problems in some alternation and argumentation circuits that acknowledge fast abundant to alter the on-off pulses as a abstracts stream.5

The furnishings of acquaintance animation can be alone by use of mercury-wetted contacts, but these are now infrequently acclimated because of the hazard of mercury release.

Contact circuits can be filtered to abate or annihilate assorted pulses. In agenda systems, assorted samples of the acquaintance accompaniment can be taken or a time adjournment can be implemented so that the acquaintance animation has acclimatized afore the acquaintance ascribe is acclimated to ascendancy anything. One way to apparatus this with an SPDT Switch is by application an SR Latch.6
