Why Choose the ABB M3SS6-11R Selector Switch?
The ABB M3SS6-11R is a robust 3-position illuminated selector switch actuator designed for reliable operator control in industrial machinery, automation systems and electrical control panels. Supplied under ABB order code 1SFA611215R1101, it forms part of ABB’s modular pilot device range and provides a durable, clearly identifiable interface for machine and process control.
The M3SS6-11R features a red illuminated long-handle actuator with a black plastic bezel. Its three-position A-B-C operating arrangement combines maintained and momentary operation, with positions A and B fixed and spring return from position C to position B. This configuration is well suited to applications requiring two maintained selections together with a temporary command position.
Designed for standard 22 mm industrial pilot device applications, the M3SS6-11R uses ABB’s modular construction, allowing compatible contact blocks, a holder and illumination components to be selected according to the electrical and signalling requirements of the application. Its industrial design makes it suitable for machine control stations, switchboards and OEM automation equipment.

Reliable Operator Control for Industrial Machinery
Selector switches provide operators with a clear method of selecting machine modes and issuing control commands. The ABB M3SS6-11R combines maintained A and B positions with a momentary C position that automatically returns to B, enabling control schemes where established operating selections are complemented by a temporary command.
ABB’s modular pilot device system allows the selector switch actuator, holder, contact blocks and illumination components to be configured according to the application. The red illuminated long-handle operator also provides clear visual identification, making the M3SS6-11R suitable for industrial control panels where both reliable switching and visible operator feedback are important.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery control panels.
- Machine mode and function selection.
- Momentary command and control functions.
- Factory automation systems.
- Motor and process control panels.
- Material handling and production machinery.
- OEM machinery and electrical control systems.
