Overview

The Vimar Arké 19666 Classic cover plate is a 1-module panel-mount trim plate in technopolymer, available in black, grey, ivory, and white. Across the range, it uses a 40 x 82 mm face with an 8.6 mm depth, and it can be mounted horizontally or vertically.

This is the visible finishing piece for an Arké panel installation, so it matters when you want the front of a switch, outlet, or control point to look clean and match the rest of the panel. The body is a halogen-free thermoplastic with a matt surface, and the plate uses clamp mounting for built-in panel work.

On board, it makes the most sense in protected interior locations such as helm panels, cabins, or service areas where the electrical device is already housed correctly behind the panel. Its IP00 rating means it is a trim component for sheltered mounting, not a sealing cover for exposed spray or washdown areas.

Key features

• ARKÉ Classic 1-module cover plate for panel mounting
• Technopolymer construction with halogen-free thermoplastic body and matt finish
• 40 x 82 mm face size with 8.6 mm depth
• Can be oriented horizontally or vertically to match the panel layout
• Clamp mounting for built-in panel installations
• IP00 front rating, which suits protected interior mounting rather than exposed weather locations

Variants

This cover plate is offered in four color configurations within the same Arké 19666 panel-mount format.

The difference across the range is finish color. The 1-module layout, technopolymer construction, and panel-mount form stay the same across the listed versions.

• VM19666.74: white. A bright neutral finish that blends well with light cabin panels and contemporary switch layouts.
• VM19666.73: ivory. A softer off-white look that suits warmer interior finishes and traditional panel styling.
• VM19666.72: grey. A middle-tone finish that works well where the surrounding panel and switchgear are neither very dark nor very light.
• VM19666.71: black. A dark finish that pairs neatly with black switchgear and darker helm or cabin panels.

Compatibility and fit

Check that your installation uses the Vimar Arké 1-module platform and a panel-mount arrangement. This is not a universal trim piece for unrelated rocker switches or outlets, so the support parts and opening need to match the Arké system.

The ability to mount it in either direction helps when you are lining up controls on a narrow helm panel, a cabin bulkhead, or a compact utility station. It also suits refit work where a damaged or mismatched front plate needs to be replaced without changing the visual style of the rest of the panel.

Installation and onboard use

This cover plate is a good match for enclosed helm consoles, interior cabins, and protected service panels where appearance and a tidy finished edge matter. It is less suited to open deck locations unless the full assembly behind it is housed inside a properly protected enclosure.

For boat owners and installers already working with Vimar Arké devices, this range keeps the panel finish consistent while letting the visible color match the surrounding interior. That is useful on both new builds and smaller refit jobs where a clean, uniform switch line matters.
