Why Choose the ABB M3SS6-11Y Selector Switch?
The ABB M3SS6-11Y is a robust 3-position maintained/momentary illuminated 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 yellow illuminated long-handle actuator and black plastic bezel for clear identification and dependable industrial operation.
The M3SS6-11Y combines maintained positions A and B with a momentary C position that spring-returns to B. This operating arrangement is particularly useful where two stable operating states are required together with a third temporary command from the same selector.
Designed for standard 22 mm control-panel mounting, the M3SS6-11Y provides a compact and intuitive operator interface. Its yellow illuminated actuator improves visual identification, while IP66 front protection supports demanding industrial environments and the modular ABB construction allows compatible contact and illumination components to be configured for the application.

Flexible Maintained and Momentary Machine Control
The ABB M3SS6-11Y combines maintained and spring-return functions within a single three-position operator. Positions A and B remain selected after the handle is released, while position C provides a temporary command and automatically returns to B when released.
This operating arrangement makes the selector suitable for applications where operators require stable mode selection alongside a temporary machine command. Its illuminated yellow long handle provides clear visual identification, while ABB's modular architecture enables compatible contact and illumination components to be selected for the required control system.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery control panels.
- Machine operating-mode selection.
- Temporary machine command functions.
- Factory automation equipment.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- OEM machinery and operator control stations.
