Vimar Idea SELV Socket Outlet, For Plugs 01616 and 01617, Polarized 2P, 6A 24V

Overview

The Vimar Idea SELV socket outlet is a polarized 2P outlet for 24 V SELV circuits, rated 6 A, built for plugs 01616 and 01617, and intended for protected IP20 installations. It uses a keyed pin layout with one 3 mm pin, one 4 mm pin, and 12.4 mm spacing between centres, so fit depends on matching the correct plug pattern as well as the voltage.

This type of outlet suits enclosed positions where a low-voltage connection needs to stay dedicated to one plug format. On board, that usually means checking the existing outlet series, plug style, and mounting location before ordering, especially on refits or like-for-like replacements.

The plastic construction, open face, and no-lid layout make it a better match for cabins, enclosed helm areas, service panels, or other dry interior spaces rather than exposed locations that see spray or washdowns.

Key features

• Polarized 2P outlet rated at 6 A and 24 V SELV
• Made for Vimar plugs 01616 and 01617
• Keyed contact layout with one 3 mm pin, one 4 mm pin, and 12.4 mm spacing between centres
• IP20 format for protected interior mounting locations
• No hinged lid and no lock, which keeps access direct but calls for a dry installation point
• Available in two colour finishes within the Idea range

Variants

This product is offered in more than one configuration.

Across the listed versions, the electrical format stays the same: polarized 2P, 6 A, 24 V SELV, for plugs 01616 and 01617. The difference between these variants is the finish colour.

• VM16301.B: Ivory finish, similar to RAL 9001. This version works where the surrounding plates or trim use a lighter colour palette.
• VM16301: Gray finish, similar to RAL 7015. This version gives a darker look for installations that already use gray Idea devices or darker panel details.

Compatibility and fit

Compatibility should be checked against the mating plug, not only the circuit voltage. This outlet is specific to the 01616 and 01617 plug pattern, so it is not a general-purpose 24 V socket.

That matters most when replacing an existing outlet on a boat, caravan, or service vehicle where the cable end is already fitted with the matching plug. The polarized layout keeps the connection keyed to this format and helps avoid using the wrong connector.

Installation and onboard use

For marine interiors, this outlet makes sense in dry, protected places such as a cabin panel, enclosed console, or equipment locker that does not take direct water exposure. It is a practical match for vessels already using Vimar Idea devices or for installations where a dedicated low-voltage outlet is needed for audio, signal, or similar accessory circuits that follow this plug standard.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
