Overview

The Vimar Eikon 20696 is a 1-module round cover plate for panel mounting, built in metal with a lacquered finish and a face size of 40 x 80 mm. It can be installed horizontally or vertically, uses clamp mounting, and includes a label space on the front.

For marine interiors, this is the visible finishing piece that tidies up a single Eikon module at the panel surface. It makes sense anywhere a switch, control point, or matching insert is being fitted into a protected helm panel, cabin bulkhead, or interior electrical panel where a clean, finished face matters as much as the function behind it.

It is also worth noting that this cover plate is rated IP00, so it is better suited to dry, protected locations rather than exposed exterior positions or washdown areas. The body is halogen-free, and the shallow 8.6 mm depth helps when space behind the panel is limited.

Variants

This cover plate is offered in three color finishes for the same Eikon 20696 1-module panel format.

Across these variants, the functional layout remains the same: a round 1-module cover plate for panel mounting. What changes is the visible finish at the panel face, which lets you match the look of the surrounding switches, trim, and joinery more closely.

• VM20696.N13: Color Matt Silver. This finish gives the panel a metallic look that sits naturally with stainless hardware, grey switch surrounds, and brushed metal trim.
• VM20696.15: Color Matt Anthracite. The darker tone keeps the panel face more subdued and works well where the surrounding equipment is black, charcoal, or smoke grey.
• VM20696.B01: Color Arctic White. This lighter finish fits cleanly into bright interior panels, white joinery, and cabins where the electrical trim is meant to stay visually light.

Compatibility and fit

This plate is meant for Vimar Eikon 1-module panel installations. Before ordering, the key points to confirm are the module format, the panel layout, and whether your installation uses the matching mounting arrangement for this round panel plate.

The 40 x 80 mm face size and built-in width and height of 40 x 80 mm make it straightforward to check against an existing panel opening or a new cutout drawing. Because the mounting direction can be horizontal or vertical, it is easier to keep the visual alignment consistent across grouped controls and labeled circuits.

Installation and placement

On board, this type of cover plate is usually used where the electrical face needs to look finished and stay easy to identify later. The front label space helps when a panel carries more than one control or when the boat owner wants a cleaner way to mark lighting, auxiliary circuits, or cabin functions without adding separate tags nearby.

This is a good match for refits and new interior panel builds where the boat is already using Vimar Eikon modules and the goal is a cleaner panel face with a metal finish. It suits protected helm consoles, interior switch panels, and cabin control points more than exposed deck installations.
