It fits the Vimar 8000 modular format as a 1-module device, so it drops into multi-gang plates without wasting panel space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis switch carries an IP40 protection rating, which suits protected interior locations on a boat such as a cabin switch panel, nav station, or an electrical console that stays out of direct spray and washdowns. The thermoplastic body is halogen-free, with a matt beige finish (RAL 9001 similar) that matches common 8000 Series interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-pole, 1-way switching for isolating a circuit by opening both poles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 AX rated current at 250 V~ for common onboard AC switching duties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports self-ballasted lamps up to 200 W (IEC 60669-1:2017)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP40 protection rating for dry, enclosed installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlush-mounted modular insert (1 module) with engage (snap) fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrewed terminal connections for secure wiring in panels subject to vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermoplastic construction that is halogen-free with an untreated, matt surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeige colour with RAL 9001 similar tone for matching plates and inserts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel space for circuit identification on the front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximate size: 22 mm wide x 50.10 mm high x 35.50 mm deep; built-in depth 24.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and wiring\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a flush-mounted module intended to snap into a compatible 8000 Series support frame and finish with the matching cover plate. Allow enough free conductor length so the insert can be removed for service without pulling on the terminals, and keep the bend radius gentle in tight console cavities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn boats, a double-pole switch like this is often used when you want a clear off position that disconnects both conductors of an AC branch circuit. Isolate all AC sources before working, and size upstream protection and wiring to the circuit on your vessel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VM08016 occupies one 8000 Series module, which helps when you are building a tidy multi-switch bank in a limited opening. Confirm clearance behind the panel; the unit needs about 24 mm of built-in depth plus space for the wire dress and terminal access.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eTypical onboard uses include switching a cabin appliance feed, a water heater control circuit, or other AC loads where a simple rocker is preferred over a toggle. It is also commonly used as a washing machine switch in residential-style installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis switch suits refits where the interior already uses Vimar 8000 modules and you want consistent appearance across the cabin panels, especially in areas that stay dry and protected.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vimar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269555548341,"sku":"QBP872221","price":27.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1300310_qbp872221.jpg?v=1771544573","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp872221","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
