Why Choose the ABB M3SSV2-10B Selector Switch?
The ABB M3SSV2-10B is a 3-position momentary selector switch designed for vertically mounted industrial enclosures, machinery controls and automation panels. Part of ABB's Modular pilot-device range, it features a black short-handle actuator, non-illuminated construction and a black plastic bezel.
Its momentary operating mechanism provides spring return from A to B and from C to B, automatically returning the selector to its centre B position when released from either outer position. This makes the M3SSV2-10B particularly suitable for temporary directional, adjustment and command functions where the operator should not leave an outer command engaged.
Designed around the standard 22 mm pilot-device format, the M3SSV2-10B provides IP66 front protection and is rated for approximately 0.5 million mechanical operations. Contact blocks are selected separately, allowing the operator to be configured for the required industrial control circuit.
Key Advantages
- 3-position momentary operation provides intuitive temporary machine-control commands.
- Spring return from A and C to B automatically restores the selector to its centre position.
- Black short-handle actuator provides compact and convenient manual operation.
- IP66 front protection supports installation in demanding industrial environments.
- Standard 22 mm mounting simplifies integration into industrial control assemblies.
- Modular construction allows compatible ABB contact blocks to be selected for the required switching arrangement.

Momentary Three-Position Control with Automatic Centre Return
The ABB M3SSV2-10B is designed for applications where an operator needs to issue temporary commands in either direction from a neutral centre position. Moving the selector to position A or C operates the chosen command, while releasing the short handle automatically returns it to position B.
This spring-return arrangement is useful for machine adjustment, directional control and other functions where an outer command should remain active only while deliberately selected. ABB's modular architecture allows suitable contact blocks to be added according to the electrical switching requirements of the application.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery control panels.
- Vertically mounted control enclosures.
- Temporary forward/reverse commands.
- Machine adjustment and positioning controls.
- Factory automation systems.
- Material handling and conveyor equipment.
- OEM machinery and operator control stations.
