Why Choose the ABB C3SS3-10B-20 Compact Selector Switch?
The ABB C3SS3-10B-20 is a compact three-position maintained/momentary selector switch designed for operator control in industrial machinery, electrical panels and automation systems. As part of the ABB Compact pilot device range, it combines the actuator and contact functions in an efficient all-in-one design that helps reduce installation time and panel space.
This selector switch has fixed A and B positions with spring return from C to B, providing both maintained and momentary control functions from a single three-position operator. This arrangement is well suited to machinery and process applications requiring two retained states together with a temporary command position.
The C3SS3-10B-20 features a black short-handle actuator, non-illuminated construction, a black plastic bezel and 2 normally open (2NO) contacts. Its 22 mm panel-mounting format and IP66 front protection make it suitable for demanding industrial control environments.

Flexible Maintained and Momentary Machine Control
The ABB C3SS3-10B-20 combines maintained and spring-return selector functions in one compact operator. Positions A and B remain selected after the handle is released, while position C provides a temporary command and automatically returns to position B. This allows the selector to perform control functions that would otherwise require separate maintained and momentary devices.
Its integrated 2NO contacts can provide switching signals to PLC inputs, relays, contactors and other industrial control equipment. The compact 22 mm format, IP66-protected front and wide operating temperature range make the C3SS3-10B-20 suitable for machine-building and industrial automation installations.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery control panels.
- Operating-mode and function selection.
- Production and packaging machinery.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Process and motor control panels.
- PLC and industrial automation systems.
