Overview

The Vimar Plana Series is a range of 1-pole normally open push buttons rated at 10 A and 250 V~ for flush-mounted switching points in protected interior spaces. These devices are lightable, use a replaceable button, and are available in both 1-module and 2-module formats within the Plana modular line.

On board, this is the kind of push button used where you need a momentary command at a built-in panel rather than a maintained on or off switch. The body is thermoplastic, halogen-free, and finished with a glossy surface, and the IP40 rating makes it suitable for cabins, enclosed helm consoles, and other interior areas that stay protected from spray and washdowns.

Key features

• 1-pole normally open momentary push button rated at 10 A and 250 V~
• Lightable button with a replaceable front button
• Flush-mounted Plana modular format in 1-module and 2-module versions
• White and silver finishes, with selected variants carrying light or bell symbols
• Thermoplastic construction that is halogen-free with a glossy finish
• IP40 protection for protected interior installations
• Available with standard screw connection or screwless terminals depending on the version

Variants

This family changes mainly by finish, module width, and terminal style. The range includes white and silver versions, with 1-module and 2-module bodies, and with either standard screw connection or screwless terminal versions in the FX references.

There are also a few application-marked options within the same family, including 2-module buttons with light or bell symbols and a white 1-module version with antibacterial treatment. Across the range, the core format stays the same: a lightable, replaceable 1-pole normally open push button rated at 10 A and 250 V~ for flush-mounted use.

Installation and fit

Before ordering for a boat, the key checks are module width, terminal style, and whether the visible button needs to stay plain or carry a symbol. The 1-module versions are about 22.3 mm wide and 48.8 mm high, while 2-module versions are about 44.8 mm wide and 49 mm high, so the module count is the first fit check when matching an existing frame or plate.

IP40 is suited to protected spaces inside the vessel, not exposed deck positions, open cockpit locations, or areas that are regularly hit by spray. In a cabin panel that stays dry, a switch bank, or an enclosed console, these push buttons keep the installation tidy and consistent with other Plana devices.

Use on board

This range suits boats that already use Vimar Plana fittings and need a momentary control point for lighting, a call bell, or a relay-triggered function from an interior panel. It also makes sense in refit work where the switchgear across cabins and helm spaces needs to match in both appearance and module layout.
