The device measures 22.00 mm wide by 50.10 mm high, with 38.00 mm overall depth and 27.00 mm built-in depth, so it suits most bulkhead panels and cabinetry where space behind the mounting surface is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an IP40 rating and a halogen-free thermoplastic body in a matt beige finish (similar to RAL 9001), this switch is intended for protected interior locations such as cabins, nav stations, galleys, or enclosed technical panels rather than exposed, washdown-prone areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16AX, 250 V~ rating for switching loads that can have inrush current, including many modern lighting circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversing (intermediate) function for multi-location lighting control when installed between two 2-way switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports self-ballasted lamps up to 200 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlush-mounted, 1-module format for Vimar 8000 Series plates and frames\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngage (snap) fastening with rocker\/button operation for a clean, familiar feel on board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP40 construction for interior panels and protected spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew terminal connections for secure wiring in vibration-prone installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel space on the front for clear circuit identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and wiring\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a flush-mount device that installs into a compatible 1-module mounting frame and cover plate system. Allow for the built-in depth behind the panel and route conductors so the terminals are not strained when the device is seated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with any onboard AC switching, isolate shore power and inverter feeds before work begins, use properly protected circuits, and keep connections tight and well-supported so they stay stable under vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eVM08013 is sized for the Vimar 8000 Series modular ecosystem and is typically used where a matching Vimar look is already installed throughout the vessel.

For helm faces, cockpit coamings, and other spots that see spray, place it behind a protected door or inside a sealed electrical panel rather than in direct exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis switch is a good match for refits and new builds that want multi-point control of interior lighting, such as controlling a cabin light from the companionway, the main salon, and the berth area, while keeping the same Vimar modular styling across the boat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vimar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269554991285,"sku":"QBP871855","price":30.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1300309_qbp871855.jpg?v=1771544572","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp871855","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
