Overview

The Vimar VM08195 is a 2P+E USA+SASO flush-mount socket outlet for 127 V AC circuits, rated 15 A, built to fit Vimar 8000 series modular plates and frames.

It uses screw terminals for the line and earth connections and snaps into place in a flush-mounted installation. With an IP20 protection level, it belongs in protected interior areas of the boat such as cabins, the saloon, or inside a dry electrical panel, not on deck or anywhere exposed to spray or washdowns.

Key features

• 15 A, 127 V AC socket outlet with a 2P+E USA+SASO configuration for American and Saudi Arabian standard plugs.
• Fits Vimar 8000 series installations as a single-module device for flush-mounted plates and frames.
• Screw terminal connections for a straightforward AC wiring hookup.
• IP20 protection level for dry, protected locations on board.
• Halogen-free thermoplastic body with an untreated surface and a matt finish.
• Cream white color, similar to RAL 9001, for a clean match with common 8000 series plates.
• Approximate device size: 45.0 mm height and 37.5 mm depth for planning wall and panel clearance.

Compatibility and fit

This outlet is intended for Vimar 8000 series modular systems, so the surrounding support, plate, and back box need to be the matching series and module format. Electrically, it is for 127 V class onboard AC circuits, which is commonly used where 120 V shore power or inverter output is present.

The USA+SASO format matters when you are standardizing plug types across cabins or refitting a vessel that already uses American or Saudi standard devices and chargers.

Installation and wiring

Plan the mounting position like any other flush outlet: enough depth behind the panel, solid support for the module, and a protected spot that stays dry. The unit uses screw terminals, so ensure the conductors are properly stripped and secured, and that the branch circuit protection upstream is appropriate for the receptacle rating.

On a boat, treat this as part of the AC distribution system. Isolate power before working, keep wiring tidy to reduce vibration wear, and avoid routing where heat or moisture can build up behind the panel.

Use cases on board

This outlet is a good match for interior AC points in cabins, the saloon, or a nav station where you want a flush finish and a plug standard that matches your onboard gear. It is also a practical fit for refits where the existing plates and modules are already in the Vimar 8000 ecosystem.

Materials and environment

The halogen-free thermoplastic body suits normal interior marine conditions, including vibration and occasional handling, but the IP20 rating means it should stay out of damp lockers, cockpit coamings, and other places that see direct spray. If the location can get wet, use an enclosure and protection method that matches that environment instead of an open interior outlet.

Maintenance and care

Keep the face clean with a soft cloth and mild cleaner. Avoid aggressive solvents that can haze plastics, and periodically check that the mounting remains secure if it is installed in an area that sees frequent vibration or foot traffic nearby.
