Why Choose the ABB M3SS6-11G Selector Switch?
The ABB M3SS6-11G is a 3-position maintained/momentary illuminated selector switch designed for operator control in industrial machinery, electrical control panels and automation systems. Part of the ABB Modular pilot device range, it features a green illuminated long-handle actuator and black plastic bezel for clear identification and dependable industrial operation.
The M3SS6-11G combines maintained positions A and B with a momentary C position that spring-returns to B. This operating arrangement is particularly useful where two stable operating states are required together with a third temporary command from the same selector.
Designed for standard 22 mm control-panel mounting, the M3SS6-11G provides a compact and intuitive operator interface. Its green illuminated actuator improves visual identification, while the modular ABB design allows compatible contact blocks, holders and illumination components to be configured for the required control circuit.
Key Advantages
- 3-position maintained/momentary operation combines stable and temporary commands in one operator.
- Positions A and B are maintained for stable control selections.
- Position C spring-returns to B for a temporary control command.
- Green illuminated long-handle actuator provides clear operator identification.
- Black plastic bezel provides a practical industrial control-panel finish.
- Standard 22 mm mounting supports straightforward integration into machinery and control panels.

Flexible Maintained and Momentary Machine Control
The ABB M3SS6-11G combines maintained and spring-return functions within a single three-position operator. Positions A and B remain selected after the handle is released, while position C provides a temporary command and automatically returns to B when released.
This operating arrangement makes the selector suitable for applications where operators need stable mode selection alongside a temporary machine command. Its modular construction also enables compatible ABB contact blocks and illumination components to be selected to suit the electrical requirements of the control system.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery control panels.
- Machine operating-mode selection.
- Temporary machine command functions.
- Factory automation equipment.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- OEM machinery and operator control stations.
