It takes up 2 modules and has an IP20 protection level for protected interior locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a solder-termination connector intended for D-sub-miniature use, so it suits custom harnesses and permanent panel installations where you want a clean, finished access point at a bulkhead or console. The body is thermoplastic and halogen-free, with a matt face finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOverall device size is 49.80 mm wide, 50.10 mm high, and 34.40 mm deep behind the panel. The front is a simple connector face with no dust cover or hinged lid, which keeps access straightforward but also means placement matters in areas where spray, grime, or accidental contact are concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9-pin SUB-D (D-sub-miniature) socket connector with solder terminals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIDEA modular format, sized as a 2-module device\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP20 rating for dry, protected interior panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermoplastic construction that is halogen-free, with a matt face finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlain connector face without support ring, dust cover, hinged lid, imprint, or strain relief\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevice dimensions: 49.80 mm (W) x 50.10 mm (H) x 34.40 mm (D)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis socket connector is offered in two color configurations to match different IDEA trims.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe connector format, module size, and installation method stay the same; the visible face color is what changes between versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVM16361.B: Color Ivory.

A darker grey tone (similar to RAL 7015) that pairs neatly with modern panels and darker trim colors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a flush-mounted modular device for the Vimar IDEA system and occupies two modules in the frame, so it needs an IDEA-compatible opening and mounting support sized for 2 modules. Match it with the correct IDEA frame and back box or panel-mount adapter used on your boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFunctionally, it is for equipment that uses a 9-pin SUB-D interface. Before cutting or committing to a location, confirm the mating plug type, cable exit direction, and the pinout required by your electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause termination is by soldering, allow enough working room behind the panel for clean joints and inspection. Since there is no built-in strain relief, secure the cable to the back box or nearby structure so vibration and tugging do not load the soldered connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIP20 means this connector belongs in protected interior spaces such as a nav station, cabin bulkhead, or an enclosed console. Avoid exposed cockpits, deck panels, or lockers that see spray or washdowns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a sensible choice for refits where you want a flush, finished DB9 access point at a navigation desk, instrument console, or service panel, especially when working with legacy serial devices, adapters, or test connections that still use SUB-D connectors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vimar","offers":[{"title":"Ivory","offer_id":52371082215605,"sku":"QBP137394-V5","price":22.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Gray","offer_id":52371082248373,"sku":"QBP137394-V3","price":24.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1314878_qbp137394.jpg?v=1774059056","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp137394","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
