Why Choose the ABB E298-16-11 Main Contact Module?
The ABB E298-16-11 is a compact and reliable 16 A main contact module with one normally open and one normally closed contact (1NO+1NC) designed for expanding ABB E297 installation relays. As part of the ABB E298 contact module series, it provides additional power contacts for flexible modular switching configurations in electrical distribution, building control and automation applications.
The E298-16-11 enables compatible E297 installation relays to be expanded with one normally open and one normally closed main contact. This complementary contact arrangement provides switching flexibility for circuits that require one load or function to be energised while another is de-energised, without requiring a separate relay assembly.
With a 16 A rated current, 250 V AC rated voltage and a compact width of only 9 mm, the E298-16-11 provides useful switching capacity while conserving valuable panel space. Its modular DIN-rail format makes it well suited to lighting control, building automation and electrical distribution installations.
