Why Choose the ABB P9MSLZ5L Illuminated Selector Switch?
The ABB P9MSLZ5L is a robust 3-position blue illuminated selector switch designed for industrial machinery, control panels and operator stations. Part of the ABB P9M modular metal range, it combines a short rotary handle with maintained/momentary operation and durable satin chrome metal construction for demanding industrial control applications.
This specific P9MSLZ5L configuration uses CAM function Z and provides three selector positions identified as A, B and C. Position A is maintained, while the selector provides spring return from position C to the centre position B, making it suitable for applications requiring a combination of retained and momentary commands from one operator.
The blue operator is suitable for illumination, supporting clear visual identification and status indication when assembled with compatible P9M illumination components. Designed for a standard 22 mm mounting hole, the P9MSLZ5L includes the satin chrome metal body and nut together with the holder and provides IP66 front-side protection for demanding industrial installations.
Key Advantages
- 3-position illuminated selector switch for industrial machine and process control.
- Combined maintained and momentary operation provides flexible control from one selector.
- Position A is maintained for a retained machine or process command.
- Spring return from C to B provides a momentary command on the opposite side.

Maintained and Spring-Return Control from One Selector
The ABB P9MSLZ5L combines maintained and momentary functionality in a single three-position operator. Position A provides a maintained selection, while position C is momentary and automatically returns to the centre B position when released. This arrangement is useful where an application requires both a retained operating state and a temporary command from the same selector.
CAM function Z defines the selector's mechanical contact-actuation sequence when used with compatible P9M contact blocks. The modular construction allows suitable contact and illumination components to be selected for the required electrical circuit, while the blue illuminated short handle provides a clear operator interface for industrial machinery and automation systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery control panels.
- Maintained and momentary machine-mode selection.
- Manual command and return-to-centre functions.
- Process and automation control systems.
- Operator control and indication stations.
- Production and manufacturing equipment.
- Mining, construction and heavy-industry machinery.
- OEM automation panels and machine building.
