Why Choose the ABB E260CA-16-11 Latching Relay?
The ABB E260CA-16-11 is a compact electronic latching relay with one normally open and one normally closed (1NO+1NC) contact designed for reliable and quiet switching in residential, commercial and building-control installations. As part of the ABB E260 electronic latching relay series, it combines silent electronic operation with an adjustable central ON/OFF control function and a wide universal control-voltage range.
The E260CA-16-11 allows connected loads to be switched using momentary control signals while also providing adjustable central ON/OFF control. Its 1NO+1NC contact arrangement provides complementary switching functionality, while the electronic design reduces the disruptive switching noise associated with conventional electromechanical impulse relays.
With a 16 A rated current, universal 8–240 V AC/DC control voltage and compact 18 mm width, the E260CA-16-11 provides considerable installation flexibility. The E260 series can switch LED loads up to 200 W at 230 V, making this relay well suited to modern lighting, fan and air-conditioning control systems.

Flexible Latching and Centralised Control
Electronic latching relays such as the ABB E260CA-16-11 change their switching state in response to control impulses, allowing electrical loads to be operated conveniently from multiple control points. The combination of one normally open and one normally closed contact provides complementary switching, while the adjustable central ON/OFF function supports centralised control of the installation.
The E260 series combines quiet electronic operation with a universal 8–240 V AC/DC control input, allowing the same relay platform to be used across a broad range of control systems. Its ability to switch modern LED loads makes the E260CA-16-11 particularly suitable for residential and commercial environments where acoustic comfort, flexible control and energy-efficient lighting are important.
Typical Applications
- Lighting circuits controlled from multiple push-buttons.
- Centralised ON/OFF lighting control.
- Residential electrical distribution systems.
- Hotels, offices and commercial premises.
- Fan and ventilation control systems.
- Air-conditioning and building-control applications.
