Overview

The Vimar VM16776.AU is a 1-module flush mounting box for panel installations where you need a clean opening and a protected cavity behind the faceplate. It is black, uses halogen-free plastic, and carries a glow wire flammability rating of 960 C with an IP40 degree of protection.

The body measures 54 x 29 mm, with depth up to 42.2 mm (36.2 mm internal depth), which helps when you are working behind helm switch panels, nav stations, and interior bulkheads where space is tight but wiring still needs room to sit naturally.

Key features

• 1-module box format for panel mounting frames and one electrical fitting
• Overall size 54 x 29 mm; depth up to 42.2 mm (36.2 mm internal depth) to help confirm clearance behind the panel
• Three rear break-out cable entries with rear inlet routing
• Supports 20 or 25 mm tube size and cable up to 25 mm diameter
• IP40 protection level for protected interior installations
• Halogen-free plastic construction with glow wire flammability rating of 960 C

Installation and setup

Before cutting, check both the available depth and how your conductors will route into the back of the box. The rear entries are made for break-out feed-throughs, so you can bring wiring in cleanly and keep bends gentle rather than forcing tight turns behind the module.

On a boat, vibration and service access matter as much as the cutout. Leave enough slack to pull the device forward for inspection, and secure wiring so the terminals are not taking the load when the hull is moving.

Compatibility and fit

This box is sized for a single 1-module Vimar Idea panel installation and the matching panel-mount frame. Confirm the device family you are using is the 1M format before committing to the panel opening.

With an IP40 rating, it belongs in protected locations such as the cabin, inside a console, or behind a sheltered helm panel, rather than areas exposed to direct spray or washdowns.
