points of contact

Where things meet

Points of contact are places where two things meet or people through whom communication occurs.

In organizations, a point of contact is the designated person who handles inquiries or coordinates between groups: She's our point of contact for the vendor.

The phrase also describes where surfaces physically touch: The tire's points of contact with the road affect traction.
