Why Choose the ABB M2SS5-11Y Selector Switch?
The ABB M2SS5-11Y is a durable 2-position illuminated selector switch designed for operator control and visual signalling in industrial machinery, electrical control panels and automation systems. Part of the ABB M2S Modular Plastic pilot device range, it features a yellow illuminated long-handle actuator with a black plastic bezel for clear and intuitive machine control.
The M2SS5-11Y provides maintained A/C selector operation, allowing the selected position to remain active until the operator deliberately changes it. Its long-handle rotary actuator provides positive manual selection, while the yellow illuminated design supports clear visual indication of machine states, operating modes and control functions.
Designed for standard 22 mm pilot-device mounting, the M2SS5-11Y integrates easily into industrial control panels and machinery. With IP66 front protection, NEMA 4X suitability and a modular construction that allows compatible contact and illuminating components to be selected separately, it provides a flexible operator interface for demanding industrial applications.

Reliable Illuminated Control for Industrial Machinery
Maintained selector switches are used where an operator needs to select a machine state, operating mode or process function and have that selection remain active without continuously holding the actuator. The ABB M2SS5-11Y provides this functionality through two stable A/C positions and a long-handle rotary interface that makes the selected state easy to identify.
The yellow illuminated operator adds visual signalling capability, while ABB's modular pilot-device architecture allows compatible contact blocks and an illuminating unit to be configured according to the requirements of the control circuit. This makes the M2SS5-11Y suitable for new machinery, OEM control panels and maintenance or modification of compatible ABB pilot-device installations.
