Electrical contactor suitable for high-power electrical circuits, and aircraft comprising an electrical circuit integrating at least one such electrical contactor

An electrical contactor, comprising:

• at least one couple of contacts that are configured to occupy a first position, which corresponds to an open state of the electrical contactor in which the contacts are spaced apart, and a second position, which corresponds to a closed state of the electrical contactor in which the contacts are in contact with one another,
• at least one system for extinguishing electrical arcs comprising
• at least one switch that connects the contacts of a given couple of contacts and is configured to occupy an on state, in which the at least one switch allows an electric current to pass between the contacts of the couple of contacts in at least one direction, and an off state, in which the at least one switch prevents an electric current from passing between the contacts of the couple of contacts, and
• a control configured to control the state of the at least one switch, and,
• a pair of a first and a second fixed contact and at least one mobile part supporting at least one pair of a first and a second mobile contact, and wherein the at least one mobile part comprises at least one current limiter connecting the first and the second mobile contact.
