Why Choose the ABB E215-16-11E Pushbutton?
The ABB E215-16-11E is a compact modular momentary pushbutton designed for manual command and control functions in low-voltage distribution boards and electrical panels. Part of ABB's E215/E217 modular pushbutton range, it combines a space-efficient DIN-rail format with a clearly identifiable yellow actuator.
This version features 1 normally open (1NO) and 1 normally closed (1NC) contact with 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, providing complementary contact operation for compatible control, signalling and auxiliary circuits.
The E215-16-11E uses momentary pulse-contact operation, so the contacts change state while the yellow pushbutton is actuated and return when it is released. At only 9 mm wide, equivalent to 0.5 DIN modules, it provides a particularly compact solution for professional electrical control assemblies.
Key Advantages
- 1NO + 1NC contact configuration provides complementary momentary switching from one pushbutton.
- 16 A rated current for compatible control and switching applications.
- Yellow actuator provides clear visual identification on the panel.
- Momentary operation is ideal for pulse-command and manual control functions.
- Only 9 mm wide, helping maximise available DIN-rail space.
- 250 V AC operational rating according to EN requirements.
- DIN-rail mounting enables straightforward integration into modular distribution and control equipment.

Reliable Momentary Control in Half a DIN Module
The ABB E215-16-11E combines one normally open and one normally closed contact in a momentary pushbutton arrangement. When the actuator is pressed, the contacts change state to provide a control pulse; releasing the actuator returns them to their normal state. This makes the device suitable for command, signalling and auxiliary control circuits where maintained switching is not required.
Its 9 mm half-module housing is particularly useful where DIN-rail space is limited. Combined with a 16 A rating, yellow actuator, complementary NO/NC contacts and ABB's modular installation format, the E215-16-11E provides a practical manual interface for building-services and industrial control panels.
Typical Applications
- Low-voltage distribution boards.
- Electrical control panels.
- Momentary command and pulse-control circuits.
- Manual start, reset or auxiliary control functions where circuit design permits.
- Signalling and indication control circuits.
- Building-services control systems.
- Industrial auxiliary circuits.
- Space-constrained DIN-rail assemblies.
