light contact
Barely there touch
Light contact describes physical touch that is gentle, minimal, or restrained.
In combat sports like karate or kickboxing, light contact rules allow strikes that land but don't deliver full force: It's a light contact tournament, so no knockouts.
The phrase also describes casual or incidental touching: The wires are making light contact but not a solid connection.
