Abstract
A contact and a vacuum interrupter using the contact. The contact includes a hollow cylindrical contact carrier and a contact plate disposed on one of the axial end faces of the contact carrier. First slits and second slits extend from the one of the axial end faces of the contact carrier and the other thereof, respectively. The first slits and the second slits are inclined with respect to the center axis of the contact carrier and have a first height x and a second height y extending in the axial direction of the contact carrier, respectively. Assuming that the axial length of the contact carrier is 1, the first height x and the second height y satisfies a relationship given by the following expressions (1)-(3): (1) 0.9≧x, (2) x≧y≧0.2x, (3) 1.4≧x+y≧0.8.
