2CCA704301R0001 ABB E292-16-11 Main Contact Module 1NO/1NC 16 A

Why Choose the ABB E292-16-11 Main Contact Module?

The ABB E292-16-11 is a compact main contact module with 1NO and 1NC contacts designed as an accessory for ABB E290 electromechanical latching relays. It allows compatible standard latching relays to be expanded with an additional normally open and normally closed main contact, providing greater switching flexibility without requiring a separate relay.

Rated at 16 A and 250 V AC, the E292-16-11 is suitable for switching duties in electrical distribution and control applications. Its 1NO + 1NC configuration provides complementary contact functions, allowing one circuit to close while another opens as the associated latching relay changes state.

With a width of only 9 mm and dimensions of 85 × 9 × 58 mm, the E292-16-11 adds switching capacity while minimising additional DIN rail space. The module is particularly useful where extra main contacts are required on compatible 16 A ABB E290 latching relays, including lighting and building-control installations.

Key Advantages

• Adds 1NO + 1NC main contacts to compatible ABB E290 latching relays.
• 16 A rated current supports practical lighting and control switching duties.
• 250 V AC rated voltage suits common low-voltage AC installations.

Flexible Main Contact Expansion

ABB E290 electromechanical latching relays switch their contacts each time an impulse is applied to the relay coil, making them widely used for lighting and other circuits controlled from multiple locations. The E292-16-11 expands a compatible standard latching relay with an additional 1NO + 1NC main-contact arrangement, increasing the available switching functions while retaining the latching-relay operating principle.

The module's 16 A current rating and narrow 9 mm construction make it particularly useful where additional switching capacity is required without unnecessarily increasing panel size. Its complementary normally open and normally closed contacts can support applications requiring simultaneous make and break functions from the state of the associated relay.

Typical Applications

• ABB E290 latching-relay contact expansion.
• Lighting circuits controlled from multiple locations.
• Electrical distribution boards.
• Building automation and lighting control.
• Industrial control panels.
• Complementary make/break switching circuits.
• DIN rail relay and control assemblies.
• Applications requiring additional 1NO + 1NC main contacts.
