Overview

The Vimar Eikon 20083 is a 2-pole key-operated 1-way switch for 250 V AC circuits, rated at 16 A and built as a 1-module device in the Eikon system. The key can be removed in both positions, which is useful when a circuit should not be left under normal switch access. It is also rated for self-ballasted lamps up to 200 W.

This is a flush-mounted mechanism with snap fastening and screw terminals for 1.5 to 4 mm2 conductors. The body is thermoplastic and halogen-free, with a matt finish, a front label space, and overall dimensions of 22.3 x 49 x 43.5 mm with a built-in depth of 33.5 mm.

On a boat, this format belongs in protected interior spaces such as cabin panels, utility lockers, or enclosed helm cabinetry where a keyed AC switch is needed. It is not the right choice for exposed deck locations, open cockpits, or other areas that see regular spray or washdowns.

Key features

• 2-pole 1-way keyed switch rated 16 A at 250 V AC
• Key removable in both positions for controlled access to the circuit
• 1-module Eikon mechanism for flush-mounted installations
• Screw terminals accept 1.5 to 4 mm2 conductors
• Complete circuit disconnection and support for self-ballasted lamps up to 200 W
• Thermoplastic halogen-free body with matt finish and front label space
• Requires matching Eikon installation accessories and is supplied without a mounting plate

Variants

This range changes in two ways: finish color and key format. The listed versions are available in grey, silver, or white, and each finish can be ordered with either a standard key or a 000 unified key.

The switching format stays the same across the listed variants: 2-pole, 1-way, 16 A at 250 V AC, with the key removable in both positions. What changes is the visible finish and the keying format used with the switch.

Installation and fit

This mechanism is made for flush mounting and snaps into the correct Eikon support system. It should be paired with the matching frame and installation accessories before ordering for a refit or a new panel build.

The built-in depth matters when space behind the panel is limited. On board, that is worth checking before fitting the switch into slim joinery, liners, or enclosed console panels where cable bends and terminal clearance can get tight.

Use on board

This switch suits boats that use interior AC distribution and need a keyed on and off function for a specific circuit. It also fits projects where the rest of the cabin or service-panel hardware already uses the Eikon platform, so the switch can match the rest of the installation without changing the mounting system.
