Vimar Idea Series USB Supply Unit, 5V, 120-240V, 1 Module

Overview

The Vimar Idea Series is a modular USB charging range for AC-powered installations on board, built around the IDEA 1-module format. Across the listed versions, these inserts take 120-240 V~ 50/60 Hz input and deliver 5 V USB charging, with configurations that include either a single USB-A port or a USB-A plus USB-C layout.

The charging output depends on the version. The USB-A plus USB-C models are rated at 15 W and up to 3 A, while the single USB-A models are rated at 5 V and 1.5 A. That gives the range two clear use profiles: mixed-device charging where newer and older cables are both in use, or a simpler single-port charging point where one device at a time is enough.

For boat installations, this is the sort of charger that fits neatly into a finished interior where a flush wall insert is preferable to loose plug-in adapters. Because it runs on AC input, it belongs on a boat circuit served by shore power or an inverter-fed AC system, not on a direct 12 V or 24 V DC battery feed.

Key features

• IDEA 1-module format for compact installations that need to match Vimar IDEA modular hardware.
• 120-240 V~ 50/60 Hz input with 5 V USB charging output.
• Range includes both single USB-A and dual USB-A plus USB-C configurations.
• USB-A plus USB-C versions are rated at 15 W and up to 3 A.
• Single USB-A versions are rated at 5 V and 1.5 A.
• Listed configurations are available in Gray and Ivory finishes.

Variants

This product is offered in four configurations that change the face color and the port layout.

Across the listed versions, the format remains 1 module and the input remains 120-240 V~ 50/60 Hz. The USB-A plus USB-C versions are rated at 5 V, 3 A, 15 W, while the USB-A-only versions are rated at 5 V and 1.5 A.

• VM16292.AC.15: Color Gray, Ports USB-A + USB-C. This version supports both a standard USB-A cable and a USB-C cable at the same outlet position.
• VM16292.AC.15.B: Color Ivory, Ports USB-A + USB-C. The port mix suits installations where phones, tablets, and accessories may use different charging leads.
• VM16292: Color Gray, Ports USB-A. This is the simpler single-port version for installations where one charging point is enough.
• VM16292.B: Color Ivory, Ports USB-A. This keeps the same single USB-A layout in the Ivory finish.

Compatibility and fit

These inserts belong to the Vimar IDEA range and occupy one module, so they are meant to be matched with IDEA-compatible supports and cover plates. In a refit, that matters as much as the charging spec, since the modular format determines whether the charger drops cleanly into the existing switch and outlet layout.

Electrical and system integration

All listed versions are AC-fed USB chargers. On a boat, that makes them a practical choice for cabins, berths, dinettes, chart tables, or similar interior positions already served by the AC distribution system. The A+C versions make more sense where newer devices are common, while the USB-A-only versions suit lighter charging duty and older cable standards.

Use on board

This range is a good match for boats that need a tidy charging point in a finished interior and want it integrated into a modular wall system instead of hanging from an adapter. It also fits refits where maintaining a consistent Vimar IDEA look across switches, sockets, and charging points matters.
