Why Choose the ABB MPD3-11G Double Pushbutton?
The ABB MPD3-11G is a robust illuminated momentary double pushbutton operator designed for industrial machinery, control panels and operator stations. As part of the ABB modular plastic pilot device range, it combines two clearly identified control functions with integrated provision for visual indication in a compact panel-mounted operator.
The MPD3-11G features a green flush upper button marked “ON” and a red flush lower button marked “OFF”, providing intuitive identification for paired machine-control commands. A green indicator provides visual signalling when the operator is assembled with the appropriate illumination components, making the device particularly suitable for machinery where command and status functions need to be presented together.
The MPD3-11G is a momentary double pushbutton with an illuminated design and is supplied without a contact block, allowing compatible ABB modular contact blocks to be selected for the required control circuit. Its robust construction, compact dimensions and wide operating temperature range make it suitable for demanding industrial automation installations.

Compact ON/OFF Control for Industrial Machinery
Double pushbuttons provide two related command functions within a compact operator footprint, helping machine builders reduce the panel space required for frequently used controls. The green ON and red OFF buttons of the ABB MPD3-11G create an immediately recognisable interface for machine operation, while the green indicator adds a visual signalling function within the same operator assembly.
ABB’s modular pilot device architecture allows the MPD3-11G to be combined with compatible contact blocks and illumination components according to the electrical requirements of the application. This modular approach provides flexibility for machine builders, panel builders and automation engineers while simplifying installation, maintenance and future component replacement.
Typical Applications
