What are the dimensions of the M3SS1-20B cutout?
The M3SS1-20B requires a Ø29 mm (1.14") cutout in the control panel. The bezel diameter is 30 mm (1.18"), and the total depth is 48.5 mm (1.91").
What is the operating principle of the M3SS1-20B?
The M3SS1-20B is a 3-position maintained switch, meaning each position (Left, Center, Right) remains engaged until manually switched to another position.
What is the weight of the M3SS1-20B?
The M3SS1-20B weighs 0.015 kg per unit. It is packaged in quantities of 10.
Can the M3SS1-20B be used with illuminated contact blocks?
No, the M3SS1-20B is a non-illuminated switch. For illuminated variants, select ABB’s M3SS series with LED-compatible contact blocks.
What contact blocks are compatible with the M3SS1-20B?
The M3SS1-20B is compatible with ABB’s modular contact blocks (sold separately), such as those in the M3SS series. Refer to ABB’s catalog for specific part numbers.
How many circuits can the M3SS1-20B control?
The M3SS1-20B supports up to three separate circuits—one per position (Left, Center, Right)—using a combination of NO and NC contacts in the left and right positions.
Is the M3SS1-20B compatible with DIN rail mounting?
The M3SS1-20B is designed for panel mounting with a Ø29 mm cutout. It does not include DIN rail mounting hardware; use appropriate panel mounting methods.
Can the M3SS1-20B be used in outdoor environments?
The M3SS1-20B is designed for indoor industrial environments. For outdoor or harsh conditions, additional protection (e.g., enclosures) is required.
How to Install the ABB M3SS1-20B Selector Switch
Step-by-step guide to mounting and wiring the M3SS1-20B in an industrial control panel.
Estimated time: 20m
Tools needed:
Screwdriver, Panel cutter or hole saw (for cutout), Crimping tool (for wiring)
Supplies needed:
Mounting screws (M4 or equivalent), Contact blocks (sold separately), Wiring terminals
- Prepare the panel cutout
Drill or cut a Ø29 mm (1.14") hole in the control panel for the M3SS1-20B. Ensure the panel thickness is compatible with the switch’s depth (48.5 mm).
- Insert and secure the switch
Insert the M3SS1-20B into the cutout from the front of the panel. Secure it using the provided mounting hardware or equivalent screws (M4 recommended).
- Attach contact blocks (if required)
Slide the appropriate ABB contact block(s) onto the switch’s rear terminals. Ensure the contacts are aligned for the desired circuit configuration (e.g., NO/NC per position).
- Wire the switch
Connect the control wiring to the contact block terminals according to your circuit diagram. Use a crimping tool for secure connections and verify polarity if applicable.
- Test the switch operation
Manually actuate the switch through all three positions (Left, Center, Right) to confirm stable engagement and proper contact activation. Verify wiring continuity with a multimeter.
