Definition: a contact piston in which rubbing contact is made at the free ends of thin quarter-wave length long metal strips which extend from the plunger face and lie close to the waveguide walls

NOTE – The actual contact is thus made in a region of low current and high voltage, so that the effects of contact resistance are minimized.
