Vimar Idea SICURY Chinese Standard Socket Outlet, 2P+E, 10A 250V, IP20

Overview

The Vimar Idea 16251 is a 2P+E Chinese standard SICURY socket outlet rated 10 A at 250 V AC (50 to 60 Hz) for use in Vimar Idea modular installations. It is an IP20 device intended for protected interior areas where it will not be exposed to spray, washdowns, or heavy condensation.

On board, this style of outlet is typically used on the vessel AC system when you need the Chinese plug pattern at a cabin desk, nav station, or similar dry location. The module uses screw terminals and includes contact protection, which helps reduce the chance of accidental contact with live parts during everyday use.

It is a 1-module device with a compact body (24.80 mm wide, 50.10 mm high, 37.50 mm deep) and a matte, halogen-free thermoplastic front. A small label area is provided for circuit identification.

Variants

This outlet is offered in multiple configurations.

The variants differ by face color. The electrical format, 10 A 250 V AC rating, and device size remain the same.

• VM16251.B, Color: Ivory. A light face color that blends well with bright interiors and lighter trim.
• VM16251, Color: Gray. A neutral darker tone that suits darker panels and areas that see frequent handling.

Compatibility and fit

This is an AC socket outlet, not a 12 V or 24 V DC accessory. Confirm your onboard AC system voltage and frequency match the device rating, and confirm the plug style you need is the Chinese standard 2P+E pattern.

As a 1-module device, it is intended to be installed within the Vimar Idea modular system using the appropriate support and cover plate for your layout. Verify the available mounting depth against the device depth of 37.50 mm, especially where wiring bundles or conduits are tight behind the panel.

Installation and wiring

Install in a dry, sheltered area and keep it clear of sinks, shower areas, cockpit spray, and washdown zones. If the location may see moisture, use a suitable protected enclosure or choose a higher-IP outlet style for that zone.

Disconnect shore power, inverters, and generators before wiring. Land conductors fully under the screw terminals, tighten to a firm connection, and provide strain relief so movement in the cable does not pull on the terminals over time.

Use cases on board

This outlet is a good match for boats that carry Chinese-standard appliances or chargers and want a clean, modular finish in interior spaces. It is commonly placed at a nav station, cabin workspace, or saloon charging point where a dedicated 10 A AC outlet is appropriate.

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.
