Modular Extended Green Push Button (1NO)

Part number: MP - 3 - 10G
ABB Modular (MP) Series Introduced circa 2005
ABB MP3-10G — Modular Extended Green Push Button (1NO)

Green extended (projecting) push button, ABB Modular series. 22mm cutout, IP65, with integrated 1NO contact. Extended actuator for gloved operation.

Common Applications

Extended (projecting) green push button from ABB's modular range. The raised actuator protrudes above the panel surface, making it easier to find and press with gloved hands in cold storage, foundry, or heavy manufacturing environments. Used as a start button on ABB drive panels, motor control centers, and process automation systems. The extended profile also reduces accidental activation from objects brushing against the panel — you have to deliberately press the raised button. Pairs with the ABB MP1-01R (red stop) and MCB-10 contact block in ABB-centric installations.

Installation Quick Reference

Panel cutout: 22mm. Insert from the front of the panel, secure with mounting nut from behind (tighten to 2-3 Nm).

Contact block: Snap or screw the contact block onto the rear of the button body. Ensure the contact block orientation matches the wiring diagram — NO terminals are usually marked.

Wiring: Use 0.5-2.5mm² stranded wire with ferrules. Tighten screw terminals to 0.8 Nm. Test the button function before energizing the circuit.

Troubleshooting

Button doesn't respond when pressed

Check the contact block first — it's the most common failure point. Test continuity across the NO or NC terminals with a multimeter. If no click is felt, the return spring in the head may be broken.

Works intermittently

Contact block contacts are pitted or burned. Replace the contact block — don't try to file the contacts. Check if the rated cycle count has been exceeded.

Button feels mushy or doesn't click

The spring return mechanism in the button head is worn. Replace the head. The contact block can usually be reused if it tests OK.
