Why Choose the ABB E298-16-001 Main Contact Module?
The ABB E298-16-001 is a compact main contact module with one changeover contact designed for use with compatible ABB E290 series latching relays. It provides a convenient way to extend a latching relay installation with an additional changeover switching contact while maintaining a compact modular arrangement.
Featuring a 1CO changeover contact and a rated current of 16 A, the E298-16-001 supports applications where a circuit needs to switch between normally open and normally closed paths. Its 250 V AC rated voltage makes it suitable for common low-voltage electrical control and building installation applications.
With its narrow 9 mm width, the E298-16-001 provides additional switching functionality while conserving valuable DIN rail space. It is particularly useful in lighting control, building automation and electrical distribution systems based around ABB modular latching relay technology.

Flexible Changeover Contact Expansion
A changeover contact provides a common terminal that alternates between normally closed and normally open circuits as the associated relay changes state. This makes the ABB E298-16-001 useful where complementary switching, status control or alternative circuit paths are required from a latching relay installation.
ABB E290 latching relay systems are used in modular electrical installations where loads are controlled by electrical impulses. The E298-16-001 expands compatible arrangements with a 16 A changeover contact while occupying only 9 mm of DIN rail width, supporting flexible circuit design without unnecessary panel-space consumption.
Typical Applications
- ABB E290 latching relay contact expansion.
- Multi-point lighting control systems.
- Changeover and complementary switching circuits.
- Building automation and electrical control systems.
- Electrical distribution boards and switchboards.
- Industrial and commercial control panels.
