Why Choose the ABB E260C-16-10 Electronic Latching Relay?
The ABB E260C-16-10 is an electronic latching relay with one normally open contact designed for reliable and quiet switching in electrical distribution, lighting and building control systems. Its electronic operating principle provides silent switching, making it particularly suitable for installations where conventional relay operating noise is undesirable.
Featuring a 1NO potential-free contact with a rated current of 16 A, the E260C-16-10 operates with a main-circuit rated voltage of 250 V AC. A wide 8–240 V AC/DC universal control voltage simplifies integration into installations using different control-voltage levels.
The E260C version incorporates a central ON/OFF control function, allowing central switching commands in addition to local impulse control. Its compact one-module DIN rail construction and suitability for switching LED loads up to 200 W at 230 V make it a versatile solution for modern lighting and building-control applications.

Silent and Flexible Electronic Latching Control
Electronic latching relays change and retain their switching state in response to control impulses, allowing a load to be controlled from multiple pushbutton locations without requiring continuous coil energisation. The ABB E260C range uses electronic switching technology to provide quiet operation, long service life and a broad universal control-voltage range.
The E260C-16-10 adds an integrated central ON/OFF input to the standard impulse-switching function, allowing groups of circuits to receive central switching commands while retaining local control. This makes the relay particularly useful for lighting systems, building automation and other installations requiring both decentralised pushbutton operation and central control.
Typical Applications
- Multi-point lighting control systems.
- Central ON/OFF lighting control.
- Residential and commercial building installations.
- LED lighting switching applications.
- Electrical distribution boards and switchboards.
- Building automation and control systems.
