Overview
The Vimar Idea USA socket outlet is a 2P+E 15 A 250 V American-standard outlet for flush-mounted installations in the Idea modular range. It is a 1-module device with screw terminals, IP20 protection, and a front size of 24.8 x 50.1 mm with 37.5 mm depth.
This is a practical match for interior panels where an American-style receptacle is needed without stepping outside the Idea system. The body is halogen-free thermoplastic with a matt finish, and the front includes a label space that can help identify a circuit or appliance feed on board.
On a boat, this type of outlet makes the most sense in cabins, galleys, helm consoles, and other protected interior spaces where the installation stays dry. IP20 protection means it should not be used in exposed deck locations, washdown areas, or other places that see direct spray or standing moisture.

Variants
This product is offered in two color configurations.
The color changes between variants. The electrical rating, mounting method, terminal style, IP20 protection, and overall device dimensions remain the same across the versions listed here.
- VM16247.B, Color Ivory. This lighter finish works well where the surrounding trim and interior fittings follow a lighter palette.
- VM16247, Color Gray. This darker finish pairs more naturally with gray trim and other darker panel details.
Installation and fit
Fit should be checked against the Idea mounting arrangement used in the panel or bulkhead, since this is a 1-module flush-mounted device rather than a complete outlet kit with every support part built in. The compact body helps when space behind the panel is limited, but the 37.5 mm depth still needs to be accounted for during refit work.
For marine interiors, it is a good match where an American-standard socket is needed in a neat modular layout and the installation will stay inside the cabin environment. It suits builders and refit projects that already use the Idea range or want a matching look across switches and outlets.
