Why Choose the ABB M2SS5-31C Selector Switch?
The ABB M2SS5-31C is a robust two-position maintained selector switch designed for industrial control panels, machinery and automation systems. Part of ABB's modular 22 mm pilot device range, it features a clear illuminated long-handle rotary actuator for dependable manual selection and visible indication.
The M2SS5-31C uses maintained operation, allowing the selector to remain in the chosen position until it is manually changed. Its two maintained positions are designated A and C, making it suitable for mode selection, equipment control and industrial command functions where a stable selected state is required.
Designed for a standard 22 mm mounting hole, the M2SS5-31C combines its clear illuminated actuator with a durable chrome-metal bezel. The modular operator is supplied without a contact block, allowing compatible ABB contact blocks to be selected separately according to the required control circuit.

Reliable Selector Control for Industrial Machinery
Selector switches provide operators with a straightforward interface for choosing between predefined machine or process states. The maintained action of the ABB M2SS5-31C keeps the long-handle actuator in its selected position until another position is deliberately chosen, providing clear and predictable manual control.
The M2SS5-31C forms part of ABB's modular pilot-device system, allowing machine builders and panel designers to combine the operator with compatible contact blocks and illumination components for the required electrical function. Its clear illuminated actuator, chrome-metal bezel and standard 22 mm mounting format make it suitable for industrial operator interfaces where both control and visual indication are required.
