Overview

The Vimar Idea 16210 SICURY socket outlet is a 2-module universal outlet rated at 16 A and 250 V for flush-mounted installations. It uses the IDEA module format, includes SICURY contact protection, and carries an IP20 rating, so it suits protected interior spaces on board rather than exposed deck areas or wet lockers.

It accepts 2.5 A Europlugs, 2P and 2P+E 10 A and 16 A Italian plugs, 2P+E 16 A German plugs, and 2P 15 A 125 V American plugs with non-polarized flat blades. With a 2P+E 16 A 250 V French standard plug, the earth connection is not realized. The body measures 49.80 mm wide, 50.10 mm high, and 41.90 mm deep.

This is a plain AC outlet with screwed terminals, a front label space, and no hinged lid, USB charger, or built-in switch. On a boat, it makes sense where the vessel already uses Vimar IDEA hardware and needs a compact shore-power or inverter-fed outlet in a dry cabin, galley, or navigation area.

Key features

• 16 A, 250 V universal outlet in the Vimar IDEA 2-module format
• SICURY enhanced contact protection built into the outlet face
• Accepts Euro, Italian 10 A and 16 A, German 16 A, and non-polarized American 15 A 125 V flat-blade plugs
• Flush-mounted body with screwed terminal connection and front label space
• IP20 thermoplastic construction with halogen-free material and matte finish
• French 2P+E 16 A 250 V plugs can be inserted, but the earth connection is not realized

Variants

This outlet is offered in multiple color configurations.

Across the range, the electrical format stays the same: one 16 A, 250 V universal outlet in a 2-module flush-mounted body with SICURY contact protection, screwed terminals, and IP20 protection. The confirmed difference between variants is the face color.

• VM16210.B: Color Ivory. This is the light finish in the range and keeps the outlet understated against pale interior trim.
• VM16210.R: Color Red. The red face stands out quickly, which helps when circuits need fast visual identification on a panel or cabin wall.
• VM16210: Color Gray. The gray finish blends more easily into darker switch panels and utility spaces.

Compatibility and fit

This outlet belongs on an AC circuit, not on a 12 V or 24 V DC branch. For marine refits, the main fit check is the vessel's use of Vimar IDEA support hardware and the available space for a 2-module flush-mounted device.

Because the front is IP20, it is better suited to enclosed locations such as cabins, saloons, chart tables, and similar protected areas. It is not the right match for open cockpits, deck washdown zones, or any mounting point that sees regular spray.

Installation and onboard use

The screwed terminal layout is familiar for conventional wiring work and works well where a fixed AC outlet is being added or replaced during a panel refit. The label space is useful when the outlet is tied to a specific shore-power, inverter, or dedicated onboard circuit.

This makes sense for boat owners and yards that want an outlet face consistent with the rest of an IDEA-based interior while keeping plug compatibility broad for common European and some American plug types used aboard.
