Why Choose the ABB M3SS5-11Y Selector Switch?
The ABB M3SS5-11Y is a robust 3-position illuminated selector switch designed for momentary operator control in industrial machinery, electrical control panels and automation systems. Part of the ABB Modular plastic pilot device range, it features a yellow illuminated long-handle actuator and black plastic bezel for clear identification and dependable operation.
The M3SS5-11Y uses a momentary operating principle with spring return from positions A and C to the centre B position. This configuration allows temporary commands to be issued in either direction while automatically returning the selector to its central position when the operator releases the handle.
Designed for standard 22 mm control-panel mounting, the M3SS5-11Y provides a compact and intuitive operator interface. Its yellow illuminated actuator improves visual identification, while IP66 front protection supports reliable use in demanding industrial environments. The operator is supplied without a contact block, allowing compatible ABB Modular contact and illumination components to be selected for the application.

Reliable Momentary Control for Industrial Machinery
Momentary selector switches provide machine operators with a straightforward method of issuing temporary directional or process commands. The ABB M3SS5-11Y provides two momentary selections around a central resting position, automatically returning from either outer position to B when released.
This operating arrangement makes the M3SS5-11Y well suited to applications such as forward/reverse, raise/lower and left/right commands. As part of ABB's Modular pilot device system, it can be combined with compatible contact and illumination components to create an operator assembly matched to the control requirements of industrial machinery.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery control panels.
- Forward and reverse machine commands.
- Raise and lower control functions.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- Factory automation equipment.
- OEM machinery and operator control stations.
