Overview
The Vimar Idea cord-operated push button is a 1-pole normally closed modular push button rated 10 A at 250 V, with a 1.5 m pull cord and IP40 protection. It is built for built-in installation with snap engagement, and the body is thermoplastic, halogen-free, and finished with a matt surface.
On board, this type of pull-cord control fits enclosed interior spaces where the switch sits above hand height or is easier to operate by cord than by fingertip, such as a head compartment, berth area, locker, or cabin service point. Because it is IP40, it makes more sense in protected interior locations than on open decks or other washdown-exposed areas.
Key features
- 1-pole normally closed push button rated 10 A at 250 V
- 1.5 m cord for pull operation from overhead or higher mounting points
- Built-in modular format with snap engagement for IDEA system installations
- IP40 protection for protected interior spaces
- Thermoplastic body that is halogen-free with a matt finish
- No integral lighting or monitoring contact, with label space on the device surface
Variants
This product is offered in two color configurations.
The visible finish changes between variants. The electrical rating, contact type, pull-cord format, and IP40 protection stay the same across both versions.
- VM16083: Color Gray. This version keeps a darker finish that blends with gray trim and darker interior switch panels.
- VM16083.B: Color Ivory. This version gives a lighter look that works with light-toned interior panels and trim.
Installation and fit
This is a built-in modular device, so it should be matched with the rest of the Vimar Idea assembly before ordering. Width is 24.8 mm on both variants. The gray version measures 50.1 mm high and 36.1 mm deep, while the ivory version measures 50.5 mm high and 37.9 mm deep, so it is worth checking box depth and surrounding trim clearance during fit-out.
Use on board
It is a good match for boats already using Vimar Idea fittings in interior spaces, especially where a pull-cord action is more practical than a face-operated button. For exterior bulkheads, exposed cockpits, or any location that sees direct spray, a higher IP device is usually the better fit.
