Vimar ARKÉ Double 2P+E USA+EU Socket Outlet, 16A, 250V, 3-Module, Flush Mount, IP20

Overview

The Vimar ARKÉ Series is a double 2P+E socket outlet with a polarized Euro-American format for boats that need to accommodate both USA and EU plug types in one fitting. Each version is rated 16 A at 250 V~ with 50 to 60 Hz operation, and uses a flush-mounted 3-module body that measures 44.8 x 49 x 36 mm.

This outlet is suited to protected interior areas on board where clean panel integration matters and where a mixed plug standard is useful. It uses screwed terminals, includes enhanced contact protection, and is made from halogen-free thermoplastic. With an IP20 rating, it is intended for dry interior locations rather than exposed deck or washdown areas.

Key features

• Double polarized 2P+E outlet format for USA and EU plug compatibility in one unit
• 16 A, 250 V~ rating with 50 to 60 Hz operation for matching AC onboard systems
• Flush-mounted 3-module format for integrated panel installations
• Screwed terminal connection for fixed wiring
• Enhanced contact protection and IP20 construction for protected interior use

Variants

This product is offered in multiple finish options within the same outlet format.

Across the range, the electrical format stays the same: two polarized USA+EU outlets, 16 A and 250 V~, flush mounting, 3-module size, screwed terminals, and IP20 protection. The main differences are the visible finish and, on the Metal version, the surface treatment.

• VM19249: Grey finish. This darker tone works well on panels with muted trim and keeps the outlet visually discreet.
• VM19249.M: Metal finish. This version has a lacquered matt surface and suits installations where a metallic accent matches surrounding hardware or switch frames.
• VM19249.B: White finish. This lighter look blends easily into bright interior panels and clean cabin layouts.

Compatibility and fit

This outlet makes sense on boats that regularly handle a mix of Euro and US plug types in cabins, saloons, or other dry interior spaces. The 3-module format is important to confirm before ordering, especially when matching an existing ARKÉ installation or planning a new switch and outlet panel.

For refit work, check available panel depth, the cutout layout, and that the vessel's AC system matches the 250 V~ product rating. Because the housing is IP20, it is better suited to interior joinery and protected bulkheads than to open cockpit, exterior helm, or other wet locations.
