Why Choose the ABB E260-16-10 Electronic Latching Relay?
The ABB E260-16-10 is a compact electronic latching relay with one normally open contact designed for quiet and reliable impulse switching in lighting, electrical distribution and building-control applications. Its electronic operating principle eliminates the disruptive switching noise associated with conventional electromechanical impulse relays.
Featuring a 1NO potential-free contact with a rated current of 16 A, the E260-16-10 operates with a rated voltage of 250 V AC at 50/60 Hz. Its wide 8–240 V AC/DC control-voltage range provides considerable flexibility when integrating the relay into different control systems.
The E260-16-10 occupies only one DIN module and is suitable for switching LED loads up to 200 W. Unlike E260C variants, this standard E260 model does not incorporate a central ON/OFF control function, making it a straightforward solution for conventional impulse-operated switching from one or multiple pushbutton locations.

Quiet and Efficient Impulse Switching
Electronic latching relays change and retain their switching state in response to control impulses, allowing a load to be operated from multiple pushbuttons without requiring continuous energisation of the control input. This operating principle is particularly useful for lighting circuits where several control points are required.
The ABB E260-16-10 combines electronic impulse operation with a broad 8–240 V AC/DC control range and a 16 A potential-free output contact. Its quiet switching behaviour and compact 18 mm construction make it well suited to residential, commercial and industrial distribution boards where reliable impulse control and low operating noise are important.
Typical Applications
- Multi-point lighting control systems.
- Residential and commercial building installations.
- LED lighting switching applications.
