Why Choose the ABB E292-16-20 Main Contact Module?
The ABB E292-16-20 is a compact main contact module with two normally open contacts designed for use with ABB E290 series latching relays. It allows compatible installations to be expanded with additional main contacts while retaining a compact modular DIN rail arrangement.
Featuring a 2NO contact configuration and a rated current of 16 A, the E292-16-20 is suitable for switching applications in lighting control, building installations and other electrical control systems. Its rated voltage of 250 V AC supports common low-voltage installation applications.
At only 9 mm wide, the E292-16-20 adds two normally open main contacts while using minimal DIN rail space. Its mechanical latching relay main-contact function makes it a practical expansion module for ABB E290 installations requiring additional switching capacity.

Compact Main Contact Expansion for E290 Latching Relays
ABB E290 latching relays use an electromechanical switching mechanism that changes contact state whenever an electrical impulse is applied to the relay coil. This operating principle is widely used for energy-efficient lighting control where a load needs to be operated from multiple pushbutton locations.
The ABB E292-16-20 expands compatible E290 arrangements with two additional normally open main contacts. Its narrow 9 mm construction allows extra switching contacts to be incorporated without unnecessarily increasing panel space, making it suitable for modular distribution boards and control panels.
Typical Applications
- ABB E290 latching relay contact expansion.
- Multi-point lighting control systems.
- Residential and commercial building installations.
- Factory and industrial electrical systems.
- Electrical distribution boards and switchboards.
- Modular control and automation panels.
