Why Choose the ABB E260C-16-20 Electronic Latching Relay?
The ABB E260C-16-20 is a compact electronic latching relay with two normally open contacts 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 2NO contacts and a rated current of 16 A, the E260C-16-20 operates at a rated voltage of 250 V AC, 50/60 Hz. Its wide 8–240 V AC/DC universal control-voltage range allows the relay to integrate with a broad variety of electrical control systems.
The E260C version incorporates an integrated central ON/OFF control function, allowing central switching commands in addition to local impulse control. Its compact one-module DIN rail format 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 electrical loads to be operated from multiple pushbutton locations without requiring continuous control energisation. The ABB E260 range combines this functionality with electronic technology for reliable, long-life and silent switching.
The E260C-16-20 adds an integrated central ON/OFF control function to local impulse operation, allowing groups of circuits to receive central switching commands while retaining decentralised control. Its two normally open contacts also provide additional switching flexibility for lighting, building automation and electrical distribution applications.
Typical Applications
- Multi-point lighting control systems.
- Central ON/OFF lighting control.
- Residential and commercial building installations.
- LED and conventional lighting switching.
- Electrical distribution boards and switchboards.
- Building automation and control systems.
