Why Choose the ABB M3SS5-10B Selector Switch?
The ABB M3SS5-10B is a robust three-position momentary selector switch operator designed for industrial control panels, machinery and automation equipment. Part of ABB’s modular pilot device range, it features a black long-handle operator and black plastic bezel for clear, dependable manual control.
The M3SS5-10B provides momentary operation with spring return from position A to B and from position C to B. When released from either outer position, the handle automatically returns to the centre B position, making the selector particularly suitable for temporary directional, jog and positioning commands.
ABB order code 1SFA611214R1006 identifies this exact M3SS5-10B selector switch. The operator is non-illuminated, uses the standard 22 mm mounting format and is supplied without a contact block, allowing compatible ABB holders and contact blocks to be selected for the required control function.

Reliable Momentary Control for Industrial Machinery
Selector switches provide a straightforward physical interface for issuing machine commands and selecting control functions. The ABB M3SS5-10B is particularly useful where a control command should remain active only while the operator deliberately holds the selector in one of its outer positions.
Because the M3SS5-10B automatically returns to centre position B from both A and C, it is well suited to functions such as forward/reverse movement, raise/lower commands and manual jogging. Its modular design allows suitable ABB contact blocks to be configured according to the electrical requirements of the application.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine control panels.
- Factory automation equipment.
- Forward and reverse control commands.
- Raise and lower control functions.
- Manual jog and positioning controls.
- Conveyors and material handling systems.
- OEM machinery and electrical control systems.
