Why Choose the ABB MTS3-30B Toggle Switch?
The ABB MTS3-30B is a robust 3-position maintained toggle switch designed for industrial control panels, machinery and automation systems. Part of the ABB Modular pilot device range, it provides clear manual selection between three maintained operating positions for machine control and process applications.
The MTS3-30B provides A, B and C maintained positions, meaning the toggle remains in the selected position until deliberately moved by the operator. Its black toggle actuator and durable chrome-metal bezel provide a practical, non-illuminated operator interface for demanding industrial environments.
The modular design allows the MTS3-30B operator to be combined with an ABB holder and compatible contact blocks according to the required electrical switching arrangement. With IP66 front protection, mechanical durability of up to 1 million operations and an operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C, it is engineered for reliable industrial service.

Reliable Maintained Control for Industrial Machinery
Maintained toggle switches provide a simple method of selecting operating modes or machine functions that must remain active after the operator releases the actuator. The ABB MTS3-30B offers three maintained positions, allowing the A, B or C state to remain selected until the toggle is deliberately moved to another position.
As part of ABB's modular pilot device system, the MTS3-30B can be combined with a suitable holder and compatible contact blocks to create the required electrical switching configuration. Its durable metal bezel, IP66 front protection and high mechanical endurance make it well suited to industrial machinery and automation control stations.
