Overview

The ABB M3SS6-11R is a modular 3-position illuminated selector switch, designed for robust industrial control panel applications. This unit features a long red handle for enhanced operability, particularly when wearing gloves, and includes integral illumination for clear visual status indication. The operating principle is maintained/momentary, with fixed A and B positions and a spring return from the C position back to B. This ensures reliable state feedback in critical control circuits. Constructed from durable black plastic, the M3SS6-11R is part of ABB's modular plastic pilot device range, offering flexibility in system design. The switch requires separate contact blocks (e.g., M3SSx-10B series) and LED blocks (e.g., MLBL) for complete functionality, allowing for custom configurations to meet specific electrical requirements. The package quantity is 10 units, with each unit weighing approximately 0.018 kg. Key specifications include: 3-position functionality, maintained/momentary operation, red illuminated long handle, black plastic bezel, and spring return from C to B. The dimensions of the modular plastic range components are typically 30mm x 30mm (1.18" x 1.18") for the bezel and 48.5mm (1.91") for the depth. Applications for the M3SS6-11R include manufacturing automation, power distribution systems, and industrial machinery control where precise operator input and clear visual feedback are essential for safe and efficient operation. Trust ABB Electrification for dependable control components.
