Why Choose the ABB MTS1-20B Toggle Switch?
The ABB MTS1-20B is a robust two-position maintained toggle switch operator designed for industrial machinery, automation systems and electrical control panels. Part of the ABB modular pilot devices range, it provides straightforward manual switching between two stable operating positions for machine and process control applications.
The MTS1-20B provides A and C maintained positions, meaning the toggle remains in the selected position after operation. A distinguishing feature of this version is its chrome-plastic bezel, combining the appearance of a chrome finish with a lightweight polymer construction.
The MTS1-20B is a modular operator designed to be assembled with a suitable ABB holder and contact block or contact blocks according to the required control circuit. This modular arrangement gives machine builders and panel designers flexibility when configuring switching functions for individual industrial applications.

Reliable Maintained Control for Industrial Machinery
Maintained toggle switches provide a simple and intuitive method of selecting between defined machine or process states. Unlike a momentary control, the toggle remains in the selected position after it is released, providing a clear physical indication of the selected operating state.
The ABB MTS1-20B combines two-position maintained operation with ABB's modular pilot-device architecture. The operator can be assembled with a holder and suitable contact blocks to create the electrical switching arrangement required by the machine or control system.
