Why Choose the ABB M3SS5-11R Selector Switch?
The ABB M3SS5-11R is a three-position momentary illuminated selector switch designed for industrial control panels, machinery and automation systems. Part of ABB's modular plastic pilot-device range, it features a red long-handle rotary actuator with a black plastic bezel for clear operator control and visual indication.
The M3SS5-11R provides positions A, B and C with spring return from A to B and from C to B. Both outer positions are momentary, so releasing the handle automatically returns the selector to its centre B position, making it particularly suitable for temporary directional and machine-command functions.
The M3SS5-11R is an illuminated modular operator supplied without a contact block. Its modular construction allows compatible ABB contact and illumination components to be selected according to the required electrical switching and indication arrangement.
Key Advantages
- Three-position momentary operation provides temporary commands in either direction.
- Spring return from A and C to B automatically restores the selector to its centre position when released.
- Red illuminated long-handle actuator combines convenient rotary operation with visual indication.
- Black plastic bezel provides a practical industrial operator interface.
- Modular construction supports integration with compatible ABB contact and illumination components.
- Suitable for directional, jogging and temporary machine-control commands.
- Part of ABB's established modular pilot-device system for industrial control applications.

Reliable Momentary Control for Industrial Machinery
Three-position momentary selector switches provide temporary operator commands while automatically returning to a defined centre position. The ABB M3SS5-11R uses spring return from both A and C to position B, making it well suited to applications where either outer command should remain active only while the operator deliberately holds the selector.
The M3SS5-11R forms part of ABB's modular pilot-device system, allowing machine builders and panel designers to configure the operator with compatible contact and illumination components for the required control logic. Its red illuminated long handle and black plastic bezel provide a clearly identifiable operator interface for industrial machinery and automation equipment.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery control panels.
- Forward / centre / reverse momentary commands.
- Raise / neutral / lower control functions.
- Jogging and machine-positioning controls.
- Manufacturing and production equipment.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- OEM machinery and industrial automation systems.
