Why Choose the ABB M3SS3-11C Selector Switch?
The ABB M3SS3-11C is a versatile 3-position illuminated selector switch designed for operator control and command functions in industrial machinery, electrical control panels and automation systems. Part of the ABB Modular pilot device range, it features a clear illuminated short-handle actuator and durable black plastic construction.
The M3SS3-11C uses a maintained/momentary operating arrangement, with positions A and B fixed and spring return from position C to B. This configuration allows maintained selection in one direction together with a temporary command in the other, making the operator suitable for machine functions requiring both retained and momentary control.
Designed for standard 22 mm control-panel mounting, the M3SS3-11C integrates easily into industrial operator stations and control enclosures. Its clear illuminated actuator provides visual indication, while the modular design allows compatible contact blocks, holders and illumination components to be selected according to the requirements of the control circuit.

Flexible Maintained and Momentary Machine Control
Three-position selector switches provide operators with an intuitive method of choosing operating modes or issuing machine commands. The ABB M3SS3-11C combines maintained positions A and B with a momentary C position that automatically returns to B, providing a practical interface for applications where both retained selection and temporary actuation are required.
As part of ABB's Modular pilot device system, the M3SS3-11C can be combined with appropriate contact blocks, holders and illumination components to create an operator control assembly suited to the electrical requirements of machinery and automation systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery control panels.
- Factory automation systems.
- Machine mode and function selection.
- Production and processing equipment.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- OEM machinery and operator control stations.
