Overview

The Vimar Idea 16203 SICURY socket outlet is a one-module 2P+E outlet in the Italian P17/11 standard, rated 16 A and 250 V with IP20 protection for dry interior installations. It uses screwed terminals, includes enhanced contact protection, and fits flush-mounted IDEA modular systems.

For onboard AC refits, this outlet makes sense in protected interior spaces such as cabins, saloons, galleys, or enclosed helm areas where an Italian-standard receptacle is already part of the boat's electrical layout. Its compact body measures 24.8 mm wide, 50.1 mm high, and 35 mm deep, which helps where panel depth is limited. IP20 means it should stay away from spray, washdowns, and other exposed locations.

The housing is made from halogen-free thermoplastic with a matt finish, and the front includes a label space that can be useful when circuits need clear identification on board.

Key features

• Italian standard P17/11 2P+E socket outlet rated 16 A at 250 V
• One-module IDEA format for flush-mounted installations
• SICURY contact protection with enhanced protection against accidental contact
• Screwed terminal connection for fixed wiring
• IP20 protection for dry interior spaces only
• Halogen-free thermoplastic body with matt finish and integrated label space

Variants

This range is offered in three colour versions within the same IDEA 16203 SICURY format.

Across the listed variants, the outlet format, 16 A / 250 V rating, one-module size, flush-mounted installation style, and IP20 protection stay the same. The main visible change is colour, while the red version is also identified for dedicated lines.

• VM16203.B: Color White. A light finish that blends more easily with white or cream interior switch plates and trim.
• VM16203.R: Color Red. This version is identified for dedicated lines, which can help distinguish a reserved circuit at a glance.
• VM16203: Color Gray. A darker finish that suits technical-looking panels and interiors where a lower-contrast white insert is not wanted.

Compatibility and fit

This outlet is intended for Vimar IDEA installations that take a single-module device and use the Italian Bipasso P17/11 socket pattern. It is a practical match for boats already fitted with IDEA plates and modules, or for refit work where the existing layout needs to stay consistent without enlarging the opening.

Because this is an Italian-standard outlet, it should be matched to the plug type and the vessel's AC distribution plan before installation. It is not a weatherproof deck outlet and should not be used where direct water exposure is expected.

Installation and onboard use

The screwed terminal connection suits permanent wiring in a protected panel or bulkhead location. On board, the label space can help mark shore power, inverter-fed outlets, or other identified circuits where quick visual recognition matters during maintenance or troubleshooting.

This product is a good fit for boats that need an interior AC outlet in the IDEA series and already use Italian-standard accessories. It is especially relevant in enclosed living spaces where finish consistency and a compact one-module footprint matter as much as the electrical rating.
