Your terms are very confusing. You can't have a "common foul" during a dead ball.
Contact during a dead ball is IGNORED unless it's intentional or flagrant. Then, it's either an IT or FT foul.
Your "slap on the arm" would most likely be ignored. (I'm talking about the rule; as officials we might address the situation without calling a foul.)

A jump ball is called where Team A gets the AP. About a second after the whistle is blown while A1 is holding the ball, B1 attempts to knock the ball out of A1's hands but slaps A1's arm.
With all due respect, I am sorry but I am not going to ignore this contact.
If this type of action/foul happened during a live ball, it would be a common foul (since the contact was neither intentional or flagrant). But since this occurred during a dead ball (whistle blown for the jump ball), it would be penalized as a intentional technical.
