Why Choose the ABB M3SS3-11G Selector Switch?
The ABB M3SS3-11G is a three-position illuminated selector switch operator designed for industrial control panels, machinery and automation systems. Supplied under ABB order code 1SFA611212R1102, it forms part of ABB’s modular plastic pilot device range and combines maintained and momentary operation within a compact operator.
The M3SS3-11G features a green short-handle operator with a black plastic bezel. Its three-position A-B-C mechanism provides fixed positions A and B with spring return from C to B, allowing a maintained selection alongside a temporary command that automatically returns to position B when the handle is released.
Designed for ABB’s 22 mm modular pilot device system, the M3SS3-11G is an illuminated operator supplied without a contact block. Its modular construction allows compatible ABB holders, contact blocks and illumination components to be selected according to the required electrical switching and indication functions.

Flexible Maintained and Momentary Control for Industrial Machinery
Selector switches combining maintained and momentary functions are useful where an operator needs both stable mode selection and a temporary command from the same control device. The ABB M3SS3-11G provides three positions, with A and B fixed and position C spring-returning to B, allowing the selected state to remain in a stable position while also supporting a momentary command.
ABB’s modular pilot-device construction allows the M3SS3-11G to be combined with compatible holders, contact blocks and illumination components according to the required electrical switching and indication arrangement. This flexibility makes the operator suitable for new machinery, control-panel construction, system integration, maintenance and replacement applications.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery control panels.
- Machine operating-mode selection.
- Maintained selection with a momentary command position.
- Automation and production equipment.
- Motor and process control stations.
- Manufacturing and assembly machinery.
- OEM electrical control systems and panel building.
