{"product_id":"qbp974625","title":"Vimar ARKÉ Series 2P 20AX 1-Way Switch, 250V, Lightable","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Vimar ARKÉ is a modular 2-pole 20AX 1-way switch for 250 V AC installations, with variants covering ON\/OFF and WATER\/HEATER markings, 1-module and 2-module sizes, and gray, white, or metal finish choices. The switch is lightable and rated for a maximum 250 W load on self-ballasted lamps under IEC 60669-1:2017.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a boat, this type of switch suits protected interior electrical locations where clear circuit control and a consistent panel finish matter, such as cabin panels, galley control points, head areas, and utility panels for a water heater circuit. It should be matched with the correct Vimar ARKÉ mounting frame and cover plate for the module count selected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-pole 20AX switching for 250 V AC circuits where both poles need to be interrupted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-way ON\/OFF function for straightforward circuit control in interior marine panels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightable switch body for installations that use compatible illumination components.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable with a plain ON\/OFF button or a WATER\/HEATER marked button for clearer circuit identification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-module and 2-module formats fit different Vimar ARKÉ modular layouts while keeping the same switch function.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGray, white, and metal finish options help match existing ARKÉ switches, plates, and interior trim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlush-mounted modular format with snap-in fastening for use with compatible Vimar ARKÉ frames and cover plates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum 250 W rating for self-ballasted lamps, referenced to IEC 60669-1:2017.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis parent product covers 12 configurations. The options vary by finish, button marking, and module width: gray, white, or metal; plain ON\/OFF or WATER\/HEATER marking; and 1-module or 2-module format.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe electrical function remains a 2P 20AX 1-way switch rated 250 V AC across the listed configurations. The WATER\/HEATER versions add a marked button for utility circuits, while the 2-module versions occupy a wider ARKÉ position than the 1-module versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis switch is part of the Vimar ARKÉ modular wiring system, so the selected module size should match the frame, support, and cover plate used in the panel. The snap-in format is useful for neat interior switch banks where several functions are grouped in one location.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse it in protected interior areas rather than exposed deck locations unless the surrounding enclosure and installation method provide the required environmental protection. For refits, check the existing ARKÉ finish, module count, and plate style before replacing a single switch so the new unit sits correctly in the same assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eElectrical use on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2-pole layout is useful where the installation calls for interrupting both conductors on an AC load. This can be relevant for utility circuits such as water-heater control, provided the connected load and protection remain within the switch rating and the vessel wiring practice allows the application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore installation, confirm voltage, load type, breaker or fuse protection, conductor size, and local marine electrical requirements. When the switch is used near damp interior areas, the final installation should rely on the correct enclosure, plate, and circuit protection for that location.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vimar","offers":[{"title":"Gray \/ ON\/OFF \/ 1 Module","offer_id":52715838046389,"sku":"QBP974625-V1","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ ON\/OFF \/ 1 Module","offer_id":52715838079157,"sku":"QBP974625-V2","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Metal \/ ON\/OFF \/ 1 Module","offer_id":52715838111925,"sku":"QBP974625-V3","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Gray \/ Water\/Heater \/ 1 Module","offer_id":52715838144693,"sku":"QBP974625-V4","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"White \/ Water\/Heater \/ 1 Module","offer_id":52715838177461,"sku":"QBP974625-V5","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Metal \/ Water\/Heater \/ 1 Module","offer_id":52715838210229,"sku":"QBP974625-V6","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Gray \/ ON\/OFF \/ 2 Modules","offer_id":52715838242997,"sku":"QBP974625-V7","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"White \/ ON\/OFF \/ 2 Modules","offer_id":52715838275765,"sku":"QBP974625-V8","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Metal \/ ON\/OFF \/ 2 Modules","offer_id":52715838308533,"sku":"QBP974625-V9","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Gray \/ Water\/Heater \/ 2 Modules","offer_id":52715838341301,"sku":"QBP974625-V10","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"White \/ Water\/Heater \/ 2 Modules","offer_id":52715838374069,"sku":"QBP974625-V11","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Metal \/ Water\/Heater \/ 2 Modules","offer_id":52715838406837,"sku":"QBP974625-V12","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1341084_qbp974625.webp?v=1781720298","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp974625","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
