Why Choose the ABB E218-16-22 Control Switch?
The ABB E218-16-22 is a modular control switch designed for manual control functions in low-voltage distribution boards and electrical panels. Part of ABB's E218 range of command and signalling devices, it combines straightforward operation with a compact DIN-rail format for professional electrical installations.
This version features 2 normally open (2NO) and 2 normally closed (2NC) contacts, providing four poles and a rated current of 16 A. ABB specifies a rated operational voltage of 250 V AC according to EN requirements and 240 V AC according to UL 508, making it suitable for a broad range of compatible control and switching functions.
The E218-16-22 is 18 mm wide and occupies 1 DIN module. With IP20 protection, 50/60 Hz rated frequency and an operating temperature range from −25 to +55 °C, it provides a compact solution where multiple complementary contacts are required from one control device.

Reliable Multi-Contact Control in One DIN Module
The ABB E218-16-22 combines two normally open and two normally closed contacts in a single four-pole control switch. This complementary contact arrangement provides flexible switching possibilities for circuits where multiple control paths need to change state together, including auxiliary control, signalling and interlocking functions where appropriate to the circuit design.
Its 18 mm housing occupies only one DIN module while providing four contacts and a 16 A rated current. Combined with its 250 V AC EN operational rating, secure terminal connections and IP20 construction, the E218-16-22 provides a practical control solution for distribution boards, building-services systems and industrial electrical panels.
Typical Applications
- Low-voltage distribution boards.
- Electrical control panels.
- Manual control and switching functions.
- Complementary 2NO/2NC control circuits.
- Building-services control systems.
- Industrial auxiliary circuits.
- Equipment control and interlocking functions.
- DIN-rail assemblies requiring multiple control contacts.
