Vimar 8000 Series 2P+E P30 Socket Outlet, 16A 250V, IP20, 2-Module

Overview

The Vimar VM08409 is a 2P+E Italian type P30 socket outlet rated 16 A at 250 V~ (50-60 Hz) for flush-mount installations in Vimar 8000 Series modular panels. It takes up 2 modules and locks into the mounting support with a snap mounting system, giving you a clean finished outlet where the boat already uses Vimar modular plates and frames.

This outlet is IP20, so it belongs in protected interior areas, not in spaces that see direct spray, washdowns, or weather. On board it is typically used on AC circuits fed by shore power or an inverter; confirm your vessel voltage and plug standard before ordering, since Italian type P30 is not the same as Schuko or US-style receptacles.

The body is halogen-free thermoplastic with a matt white finish (RAL 9001). Enhanced contact protection helps reduce accidental contact with live parts during everyday use.

Compatibility and fit

This is a modular device intended to be used with matching Vimar 8000 Series frames and cover plates sized for a 2-module outlet. Plug compatibility is based on the Italian P30 standard with earth contacts; verify the plugs you plan to use on board match this outlet style.

Depth behind the panel matters on boats with tight liners or shallow electrical boxes. Plan for the 39.50 mm device depth plus room for cable bend radius and the screw terminals.

Installation and wiring

Install it flush in an appropriate mounting box and secure it using the snap mounting engagement. Terminate conductors at the screw terminals and keep strain off the connections, especially in areas that see vibration.

Because this is an AC outlet, isolate power at the breaker before working, and follow the electrical practices required for your vessel and jurisdiction. This outlet does not replace upstream circuit protection; it relies on the boat’s breakers and any residual-current protection already in the system.

Use on board

This outlet is a good match for cabins, galleys, nav stations, and other interior spaces where the boat uses Italian-standard P30 receptacles and a Vimar modular switching system. It is also a straightforward replacement when you are keeping the existing faceplates and module layout the same.

Maintenance and care

Keep it in a dry, protected location consistent with IP20 use. Clean the face with a lightly damp cloth and mild soap if needed, and avoid harsh solvents that can haze plastics. If you are servicing the circuit, it is worth checking terminal tightness during scheduled electrical inspections.
