Overview
The Vimar Idea 16000 is a modular 1-way rocker switch rated at 1P 10 AX 250 V~, with IP40 protection and a one-module body for flush-mounted installations. It uses screw terminals, has a rocker/button operating method, and handles loads up to 100 W for self-ballasted lamps.
Its housing measures 24.8 mm wide, 50.1 mm high, and 36.5 mm deep, with a built-in depth of 23.3 mm, so it fits neatly in tight interior panels. The body is thermoplastic with a matt finish, it is halogen-free, and it includes a label surface for circuit identification.
On board, this type of switch makes the most sense in protected interior spaces such as cabins, passageways, galleys, or heads where a flush switch is needed and direct weather exposure is not part of the installation. It is not an illuminated switch, so it suits panels where backlighting or status indication is handled elsewhere.
Key features
- 1P 10 AX 250 V~ 1-way switch for on or off control of a single circuit
- Handles up to 100 W for self-ballasted lamps
- IP40 protection for protected interior mounting locations
- Flush-mounted one-module format with snap fastening and screw-terminal wiring
- Compact body at 24.8 x 50.1 x 36.5 mm with 23.3 mm built-in depth
- Matt thermoplastic housing that is halogen-free, with label space on the front
Variants
This switch is offered in two color configurations within the same Idea one-module format.
Across both variants, the switching function, 10 AX 250 V~ rating, IP40 protection, dimensions, and screw-terminal flush-mount layout stay the same. The visible difference between the two options is the front color.
- VM16000.B, Color Ivory. This option suits panels where a lighter switch face is preferred.
- VM16000, Color Gray. This option gives more contrast on darker or mixed-finish panels.
Installation and fit
Check available panel depth before ordering, especially on slim liners or tight electrical panels, as the unit needs room for its 23.3 mm built-in body and for the screw-terminal cable entry behind it. The snap-in mounting style suits modular panel assemblies where this switch format is already in use.
For refit work, this is a good match when you need a non-illuminated Vimar Idea 1-way rocker with the same electrical rating and footprint as the existing switch. The label surface is useful when several lighting or utility circuits are grouped together at the same panel.
Use on board
This switch is a good match for boat owners, yards, and electricians working on protected interior AC switching points rather than exposed deck locations. It fits best where a flush finish matters and where the circuit does not need a built-in indicator light.
