Overview

The Vimar Eikon 20208 is a German standard (SCHUKO) SICURY socket outlet rated 16 A at 250 V~ (50 to 60 Hz) in a 2-module Eikon format. It is a flush-mounted mechanism with an IP20 rating, intended for interior locations where the outlet is protected from spray and washdowns.

On boats with European 230 V AC shore power or inverter output, this style of outlet is commonly used at the nav station, cabin, or galley for everyday appliances and chargers. The enhanced contact protection and the label space help when you are keeping AC circuits organized across multiple cabins or outlets.

Key features

• German standard protective contact (SCHUKO) outlet, 2P+E, 16 A, 250 V~ (50 to 60 Hz)
• SICURY enhanced contact protection
• 2-module Eikon mechanism for flush mounting
• IP20 rating for interior, protected locations
• Halogen-free thermoplastic construction with a matt finish
• Label space/information surface for circuit identification
• Installation options across the range: screwed terminals or push-in clamp (screwless) terminals
• Cover options across the range: open face or a hinged lid with function lighting
• Color options across the range: grey (RAL 7024), silver (RAL 9022), and white (RAL 9016)

Variants

This outlet is offered in multiple configurations that vary by color, cover style, and terminal type.

Across the range, the electrical rating stays at 16 A, 250 V~ (50 to 60 Hz) in a 2-module format with IP20 protection. The cover versions add a hinged lid and include function lighting, while terminal options are available with either screwed terminals or push-in clamp terminals for a screwless connection style.

Compatibility and fit

This is a 2-module mechanism intended for Vimar Eikon installations, where the outlet snaps into the appropriate mounting support and is finished with a matching Eikon cover plate. The device body is approximately 44.8 mm wide, 49.0 mm high, and 38.9 mm deep, so confirm wall-box depth and clearance behind panels before ordering.

Electrical and system integration

The outlet is for AC distribution and includes protective earth (2P+E). It does not provide fault-current protection by itself, so it should be installed on a properly protected circuit as part of the vessel’s shore-power or inverter-fed AC system.

Installation and setup

Choose the terminal style that matches your wiring preference and service routine. Screwed terminals suit traditional terminations, while push-in clamp terminals reduce the need for retightening and speed up installation when access is tight behind liners or furniture.

For a cleaner result on board, leave enough conductor length in the box for future servicing, keep the protective earth connection tidy, and avoid routing AC conductors where condensation or dripping is likely.

Use cases on board

This outlet is a good match for yachts and workboats that use European-style plugs on a 230 V AC system, and need a consistent interior outlet standard across cabins, saloon, and navigation areas. For cockpit, deck, or heads locations where moisture is expected, plan on a suitable protective enclosure rather than relying on the outlet alone.

Maintenance and care

Wipe the visible surfaces with a lightly damp cloth and avoid aggressive solvents that can mark thermoplastic finishes. Periodically check that the outlet remains firmly seated in its mounting support, and de-energize the circuit before any inspection or service.
