Why Choose the ABB M3SS5-30R Selector Switch?
The ABB M3SS5-30R is a robust 3-position momentary selector switch designed for operator control in industrial machinery, electrical control panels and automation systems. Part of the ABB Modular plastic pilot device range, it features a red long-handle actuator and durable chrome-metal bezel for dependable operation in demanding industrial environments.
The M3SS5-30R 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 M3SS5-30R provides a compact and intuitive operator interface. Its non-illuminated construction and long handle make it well suited to directional and temporary control functions, while the modular design allows compatible ABB contact blocks and holders to be selected separately for the required control circuit.

Reliable Momentary Control for Industrial Machinery
Momentary selector switches provide operators with a straightforward way to issue temporary machine or process commands. The ABB M3SS5-30R provides two momentary selections around a central resting position, automatically returning from either outer position to B when the handle is released.
This operating arrangement makes the M3SS5-30R particularly suitable for functions 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 blocks and mounting components to create an operator assembly matched to the electrical requirements of the application.
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.
