It is a flush-mounted module for Vimar 8000 Series panels, made for clean, repeatable installs where you want a push-to-activate control that returns when released.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a boat, this style of push button is commonly used as a command switch for things like relays, contactors, or control inputs at the helm or inside an electrical panel. With an IP40 rating, it belongs in protected interior locations (behind a plate and out of direct spray and washdowns), not on exposed deck surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMomentary action, 1P NO: contact closes while pressed and opens when released\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectrical rating: 10 A at 250 V~\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIlluminable front with general symbol; supplied without the signalling unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlush-mounted modular format for Vimar 8000 Series installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP40 protection level for dry, protected panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHalogen-free thermoplastic body with a matt, untreated surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApprox. size: 22.00 mm wide, 50.10 mm high, 35.00 mm deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis module is intended for the Vimar 8000 Series system, where the device snaps into the compatible mounting support and sits behind the matching cover plate. Before ordering, confirm you have the correct 8000 Series frame\/plate combination and enough clearance behind the mounting surface for the 35 mm device depth plus wiring bend radius.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and wiring\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstall it as a flush-mounted device in a protected panel or bulkhead location. Keep wiring supported so vibration does not work the conductors loose over time, and use proper terminations for the wire type you are running (crimped terminals and strain relief where needed). Circuit protection should be sized to the downstream circuit, not just the switch rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor higher current loads, it is often used as the control button that triggers a relay or contactor rather than carrying motor or inverter load directly. If you are working on AC systems, follow marine electrical practices and local requirements for isolation, grounding, and protected routing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVisibility and labeling\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe front has a general symbol and supports a signalling unit so the button can be lit for night operation. This is useful on interior helm panels and nav stations where you want controls to stay readable without adding separate indicator lights, while still keeping the face layout consistent across a multi-switch bank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a good match for refits and new builds that are standardizing on Vimar 8000 Series modules in interior control stations, cabins, or electrical lockers. It fits well where you need a clear momentary command for a horn circuit, a remote control function, or a low-current control input that should not stay latched on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eWipe the front with a lightly damp cloth and avoid aggressive solvents that can haze plastics. Because it is IP40, keep it out of direct washdowns and inspect the mounting plate and wiring occasionally so the module stays seated and the terminals remain tight.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vimar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269558988981,"sku":"QBP874185","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1300321_qbp874185.jpg?v=1771544597","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp874185","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
