Vimar Idea USA Socket Outlet, 2P+E, 15A 127V, IP20

Overview

The Vimar Idea 16245 is a single-module 2P+E socket outlet rated at 15 A and 127 V for installations that use the American and Saudi Arabian standard. It is a flush-mounted unit with screwed terminal connections, an IP20 rating, and a compact body that measures 24.80 mm wide, 74.80 mm high, and 37.50 mm deep.

For boat interiors, this is the kind of outlet used where a clean built-in finish matters and the area is kept protected from spray. The thermoplastic body is halogen-free, the front has a matt finish, and the outlet includes a label space on the face for identification in panel or cabin installations.

It suits vessels that already run a 127 V AC system and need a matching receptacle in living spaces, service areas, or other sheltered locations. Because it is rated IP20, it belongs in dry interior positions rather than exposed deck or cockpit mounting points.

Variants

This product is offered in two color configurations.

Across the listed versions, the visible finish changes between gray and ivory. The outlet format remains the same single-module, flush-mounted 2P+E 15 A, 127 V configuration for American and Saudi Arabian standard use.

• VM16245.B: Color Ivory. This version changes the visible finish on the face of the outlet and is suited to interiors where a lighter trim matches surrounding panels and fittings.
• VM16245: Color Gray. This version keeps the same outlet format with a darker finish that blends more easily with gray switch plates and modern interior schemes.

Installation and fit

This outlet is meant for flush mounting in a compatible modular installation point. The one-module footprint helps when space is limited at the nav station, inside accommodation spaces, or along interior service panels where several controls and outlets need to share the same area.

The screwed terminal connection is straightforward for fixed wiring and gives installers a secure connection point that can be checked during service work. Before ordering, it is worth confirming that the vessel uses the matching 127 V circuit and a compatible mounting system for the Vimar Idea module format.

Use on board

This outlet is a practical match for cabins, saloons, chart tables, and other indoor spaces where crew need access to a 127 V receptacle without adding a surface-mounted fitting. It is less appropriate for machinery spaces with heavy washdown exposure or exterior areas where a higher sealing rating would normally be required.
