Overview

The Vimar Plana Series is a flush-mounted 2-module USB supply unit range for boats that already have an AC electrical system on board. Depending on the version, it gives you two USB-A ports, one USB-A plus one USB-C, or two USB-C ports, with 5 V output and total charging capacity of 2.1 A or 3 A.

This is an AC input device, not a direct 12 V or 24 V DC charger. It fits where the boat is already using shore power, generator, or inverter-fed AC circuits and needs a built-in charging point at the berth, nav station, salon, or another protected interior panel.

Across the range, the format stays compact at about 44.8 to 45 mm wide and 49 mm high, with body depth around 39.5 to 40 mm. Minimum installation box depth changes by version, so it is worth checking panel depth before ordering.

Key features

• Plana 2-module format with flush-mounted installation for a built-in charging point
• Port layouts across the range include 2 USB-A, 1 USB-A plus 1 USB-C, and 2 USB-C
• 5 V USB output with total current that varies by version: 2.1 A on dual USB-A models and up to 3 A on USB-A plus USB-C and dual USB-C models
• AC input varies by version: 120-230 V~ 50/60 Hz on dual USB-A models and 120-240 V~ 50/60 Hz on USB-A plus USB-C and dual USB-C models
• Available in white or silver to match different interior finishes
• Compact housing around 44.8 to 45 mm wide, 49 mm high, and about 39.5 to 40 mm deep
• Minimum back-box depth varies by version, with confirmed requirements from 29 mm to 36 mm

Variants

This range changes in two main ways: finish and port layout. You can choose white or silver, and the charging face can be configured with two USB-A ports, one USB-A plus one USB-C port, or two USB-C ports.

The electrical rating also changes with the port arrangement. The dual USB-A versions deliver 5 V with 2.1 A total output and use 120-230 V AC input. The mixed USB-A plus USB-C and dual USB-C versions deliver 5 V with up to 3 A total output and use 120-240 V AC input. On versions with USB-C, the Type C connection is reversible, and a single output can charge at up to 3 A. The Plana 2-module footprint stays the same across the family, while installation depth changes slightly between versions.

Installation and fit

This unit range is a sensible match when the boat already uses Vimar Plana components or when a refit is being planned around that format. Because it mounts flush, it gives a tidy charging point without adding a plug-in adapter or a loose converter in the cabin.

Check the available depth behind the panel before fitting. Confirmed minimum box depth runs from 29 mm on the USB-A plus USB-C version to 35 mm on the dual USB-C version and 36 mm on the dual USB-A version. As an AC-powered interior fitting, it belongs in protected spaces rather than open deck areas or places that see regular spray and washdown.

Use on board

This range works well in cabins, berth spaces, saloon seating, and navigation areas where phones, tablets, and other portable electronics are charged while the AC system is live. It also suits owners who want a built-in charging point that sits cleanly in the panel instead of relying on socket adapters.

It is a better fit for boats that already make regular use of shore power, generator time, or inverter-fed AC circuits. Boats that need USB charging only from the house battery bank with the AC system off will usually be better served by a dedicated 12 V or 24 V DC USB outlet.
