Overview
The Vimar Idea 16733 Classica is a 3-module cover plate range for Vimar IDEA switching devices, with clamp mounting and support for horizontal or vertical installation. On the metal versions in this family, the front size is 120 x 82 mm with a depth of 9.3 mm, and the plate is suitable for built-in installation, wall duct use, and subfloor installation duct box layouts.
For a boat refit or a clean interior switch panel, this is the visible trim piece that finishes the opening and gives the installation a more settled look. It suits protected interior areas such as cabins, companionways, galleys, heads, and helm-side switch panels where the Vimar IDEA format is already in place.
The IP00 rating places it in dry inside locations rather than exposed deck or washdown positions. That matters on board, because this plate is about finish, fit, and consistency at the switch point, not weather sealing.
Key features
- 3-module Classica plate format for Vimar IDEA switching devices
- Metal versions in this family measure 120 x 82 x 9.3 mm
- Clamp mounting with support for horizontal or vertical installation

- With mounting grid and label space for panels where circuits need clear identification
- Halogen-free metal construction on the listed metal finishes, with IP00 protection for protected interior areas
Variants
The listed configurations vary mainly by the visible finish. Metal options in this family include white, ivory, black, metallized silver, metallized titanium, black chrome, polished gold, matt gold, brushed nickel, chrome, antique brass, and slate gray.
The finish is what mainly changes the look of the plate, so this range lets you keep the same 3-module IDEA layout while matching different interior trims. That is useful on boats where cabins, living spaces, and helm panels need the same switch format but not necessarily the same surface look.
Compatibility and fit
Check that your installation uses the Vimar IDEA system and a 3-module position. The metal versions use clamp mounting, support horizontal or vertical orientation, and include a label surface that helps when several circuits sit close together on the same panel.
If you are replacing an existing plate, match the opening format and finish against what is already installed before ordering. This range is about the outer trim piece, so it should be paired with the correct underlying IDEA modules and mounting arrangement.
Use on board
On a boat, this plate makes the most sense in protected interior spaces rather than exposed areas. It works well where you want a cleaner finish around lighting, service, or accessory switches in cabins and other dry interior zones.
It is a good match for refits that already use Vimar IDEA devices and want the switch panel to look more consistent from one space to the next. Where the switch layout is staying the same and the surface finish is what needs to change, this range keeps that job straightforward.
