Why Choose the ABB M3SS5-30B Selector Switch?
The ABB M3SS5-30B is a robust three-position momentary selector switch operator designed for industrial control panels, machinery and automation systems. Part of ABB’s modular pilot device range, it combines a black long-handle actuator with a durable chrome metal bezel for dependable manual control in demanding applications.
The M3SS5-30B provides momentary operation with spring return from positions A and C to centre position B. This operating principle makes it particularly suitable for control functions where an outer command should remain active only while the operator deliberately holds the selector in position.
ABB order code 1SFA611214R3006 identifies this exact M3SS5-30B selector switch operator. It is non-illuminated and supplied without a contact block, enabling compatible ABB contact blocks and holders to be selected according to the required electrical control function.

Reliable Momentary Control for Industrial Machinery
Selector switches provide operators with a straightforward physical interface for issuing machine commands and controlling industrial processes. The ABB M3SS5-30B is particularly useful where commands need to be active only while the operator holds the selector in one of its outer positions.
With spring return from both A and C to centre position B, the M3SS5-30B can be used for functions such as forward/reverse movement, raise/lower commands and manual jogging. Its modular ABB construction enables the required contact arrangement to be created using compatible contact blocks.
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.
