Vimar Surface-Mount Consumer Unit, 5-Module, IP40, Transparent Door

Overview

The Vimar VMV50405 is a surface-mount consumer mounting box with a vertically hinged transparent door and space for 5 modules (4+1).

It carries an IP40 rating for protection against solid objects larger than 1 mm, so it belongs in dry, protected areas such as an interior electrical locker, behind an inside console panel, or an enclosed technical space. Overall size is 170 mm high, 145 mm wide, and 95 mm deep, which helps when you need a compact enclosure without cutting into a bulkhead.

The housing is plastic in a grey RAL 7035 finish, includes a DIN rail, and is pre-set for support of the V51859 earth terminal block.

Key features

• Surface-mounted enclosure for 5 modular spaces (4+1) in a single row
• IP40 protection for interior locations where the box is not exposed to spray or washdowns
• Transparent door with a vertical hinge so device positions can be checked without opening the cover
• DIN-rail ready for compatible modular components
• Top and bottom knockouts for cable entry and routing flexibility
• 170 mm x 145 mm x 95 mm overall size for compact installs
• Grey RAL 7035 finish that keeps a clean, neutral look on board
• Pre-set for support of the V51859 earth terminal block

Installation and setup

Mount the enclosure to a flat surface using fasteners suited to the bulkhead or panel material, and leave clearance so the door can swing fully. Plan cable entry so conductors do not rub or pinch at the knockouts when the door is closed.

After pulling in wiring from the top or bottom, dress conductors neatly and support heavier cable runs close to the entry point, especially in areas that see vibration.

Compatibility and fit

This box is intended for modular components that mount on a DIN rail and fit within 5 module spaces. Confirm the module width of the devices you plan to install and allow room for wiring bend radius within the 95 mm depth.

On boats, the IP40 rating is the key limiter: it is not a water seal. Use it in protected compartments rather than in cockpits, open helm areas, or other locations that see washdowns.

Use cases on board

It is commonly used as a small distribution point near a nav station, a service enclosure for interior circuits, or a tidy control box inside an enclosed technical locker. It fits well when you want a closed cover for safety and quick visual checks through the transparent door.
