Why Choose the ABB E298-16-20 Main Contact Module?
The ABB E298-16-20 is a compact and reliable 16 A main contact module with two normally open (2NO) contacts designed for expanding ABB E297 installation relays. As part of the ABB E298 contact module series, it provides a convenient way to increase the number of main switching contacts in modular electrical control and distribution applications.
The E298-16-20 is a snap-on contact module with integrated main contacts. When combined with a compatible E297 installation relay, it adds two normally open power contacts, enabling configurations requiring additional switched circuits without the need for a separate relay assembly.
With a 16 A rated current, 250 V AC rated voltage and a compact width of only 9 mm, the E298-16-20 delivers useful switching capacity while conserving valuable panel space. Its modular format makes it well suited to lighting control, building automation and electrical distribution installations.

- Suitable for modular electrical distribution and switching applications.
Flexible Contact Expansion for Installation Relays
Main contact modules such as the ABB E298-16-20 allow compatible installation relays to control additional electrical circuits without requiring a completely separate switching device. Its two normally open contacts extend the switching configuration of the associated E297 relay, making the system more adaptable to multi-circuit applications.
The E298 series is particularly useful in modular building-control and distribution installations where panel space and configuration flexibility are important. The narrow 9 mm format allows additional switching capability to be incorporated while maintaining a compact overall installation.
Typical Applications
- Expansion of ABB E297 installation relays.
- Lighting circuit switching and control.
- Building automation systems.
- Electrical distribution boards.
- Commercial and industrial control panels.
- Multi-circuit and multi-phase switching arrangements.
