Overview

The Vimar Idea is a double 2P+E 15 A 127 V SICURY socket outlet for American and Saudi Arabian standard plugs in a 3-module format. It is a flush-mounted device with two outlets, screw terminals, enhanced contact protection, and an IP20 rating. The body is made from halogen-free thermoplastic with a matt finish.

On board, this type of outlet fits dry interior spaces where you need a built-in AC connection for cabin, saloon, or galley use on a 127 V circuit. At 74.8 x 50.1 x 36.5 mm, it stays compact enough for tight panel areas while still giving you two receptacles in one device.

Key features

• Double 2P+E outlet layout for two 15 A 127 V connections in one 3-module device
• Accepts American and Saudi Arabian standard plug format
• SICURY shutter system with enhanced contact protection
• Flush-mounted installation with screw-terminal wiring
• IP20 protection for sheltered interior locations
• Halogen-free thermoplastic body with matt surface finish
• Label space on the front for circuit identification
• 50 to 60 Hz rated device for standard onboard AC distribution in the correct voltage range

Variants

This outlet is offered in two color configurations within the same Vimar Idea format.

Across these two variants, the outlet format, 15 A 127 V rating, 3-module size, screw-terminal connection, flush-mounted installation, enhanced contact protection, and IP20 protection stay the same. The visible difference is the front color.

• VM16243: Color Grey. The grey finish gives a lower-contrast look on darker panels, helm areas, or modern interior trim.
• VM16243.B: Color Ivory. This light finish keeps the same outlet layout and works where a brighter trim color is preferred.

Installation and fit

Check that the installation point is set up for a flush-mounted 3-module Vimar Idea device and that the circuit is a 127 V AC branch protected to the correct standard for the boat. This outlet is not a weatherproof fitting, so it belongs in sheltered interior locations rather than open decks, heads, or other spray-prone spaces.

The screw terminals suit fixed wiring, and the front label area helps when the boat has multiple AC outlets or separate shore power and inverter-fed circuits. Enhanced contact protection is also useful in cabins and shared interior spaces where guests or crew may be using the outlet regularly.

Use on board

This outlet is a good match for boats that use 127 V AC distribution with American-style receptacles and need a neat, built-in duplex outlet inside the accommodation areas. It also makes sense in refit work where panel space is limited and the rest of the interior is already built around Vimar Idea modules.
