Vimar Linea Classica Cord-Operated Push Button, 1P Normally Open, 10A 250V~, 1.5 m Cord, Flush Mount, White RAL 9001

Overview

The Vimar VM10270 is a 1-pole, normally open, cord-operated push button rated 10 A at 250 V~ for built-in installations. It is a momentary contact device, so it only closes the circuit while the cord is pulled and returns to open when released.

On boats, this style of pull-cord control is commonly used where a switch needs to be reachable from a doorway, berth, or inside a locker while the wiring stays protected behind the panel. The pull cord length is 1.5 m, and the unit body measures 22 mm wide by 36 mm high with a 37 mm depth behind the mounting surface.

Key features

• 1P NO momentary action, closing the circuit only while the cord is pulled
• Rated 10 A at 250 V~ for switching within the stated limits
• 1.5 m cord for convenient reach from overhead or recessed locations
• Built-in mounting with engage (snap) fastening for a secure fit in the panel
• Halogen-free thermoplastic body with an untreated matte finish
• White finish (RAL 9001) that matches traditional LINEA Classica interiors
• Compact body size: 22 mm W x 36 mm H x 37 mm D

Installation and setup

This is a built-in device intended to sit behind a compatible faceplate, with the mechanism snapping into place. Confirm you have the correct mounting box and cover format used on your boat before ordering, and verify there is at least 37 mm of clear depth behind the mounting surface.

Route the cord so it pulls straight without rubbing on sharp edges or hatch corners. In lockers and machinery spaces, keeping the cord away from moving gear and heat sources helps prevent fraying and unwanted loads on the switch.

Electrical and load considerations

Because the contact is normally open, it is often used as a control input for relays, contactors, bells, and low-current control circuits. For pumps, fans, or other inductive loads, switching through an appropriately sized relay is a common approach to reduce stress on the contacts.

Wire the circuit with proper overcurrent protection and isolation for the system you are working on, and keep terminations inside a protected enclosure if the location can see spray or condensation.

Use on board

Typical placements include heads and shower compartments, hanging lockers, under-berth storage, and service access panels where a pull-cord action is easier to reach than a wall-mounted rocker. It is also a practical choice where you want the switch body hidden behind a clean faceplate while keeping the control point within arm’s reach.

Maintenance and care

Wipe the front surface with a soft damp cloth and avoid harsh solvents that can haze thermoplastics. Periodically check the cord routing and the snap fit, especially on boats that see vibration, to make sure the pull action stays smooth and the device remains seated.
