Overview
The Vimar IDEA Series is a 1-pole, 1-way switch module for flush-mounted installations. It is rated at 10 AX and 250 V, uses screw terminals, and has IP40 protection with a halogen-free thermoplastic body in a matt finish.
This switch suits protected interior areas on board where a clean modular layout matters and the circuit only needs simple on and off control. It can be used for lighting and other single AC loads within rating, including self-ballasted lamps up to 100 W.
Because it is an IP40 device, it belongs in dry interior spaces rather than open deck locations or areas that see regular spray and washdowns. It is a practical fit for cabins, galleys, heads, enclosed helm stations, and other interior panels that use the IDEA modular system.
Key features
- 1-pole, 1-way rocker/button switch for straightforward on and off control
- 10 AX rating at 250 V
- Suitable for self-ballasted lamps up to 100 W
- Screw-terminal wiring with flush-mounted snap fastening
- Halogen-free thermoplastic construction with matt untreated surface
- IP40 protection for protected interior installations
Variants
This switch is offered in two color configurations within the IDEA range.
The visible finish changes between variants, and the overall device depth changes as well. The electrical format stays the same at 1-pole, 1-way, 10 AX, 250 V with screw-terminal flush mounting.
- VM17000: Grey finish, similar to RAL 7015, with 36.5 mm device depth. It suits darker switch panels or trim where the face should blend in quietly.
- VM17000.B: White finish, similar to RAL 9001, with 32.5 mm device depth. It works well where the switch needs to match light liners, cabinetry, or pale interior panels.
Compatibility and fit
The switch body measures 21.8 mm wide and 50.1 mm high, with a built-in depth of 23.3 mm. That compact footprint helps when space behind the panel is limited.
It is a sensible match for boat owners, yards, and refit teams using Vimar IDEA components for cabin lighting and other simple AC switching points. In locations exposed to weather or direct washdown, a higher-protection enclosure is the better choice.
