Overview

The Vimar Idea 16745 Classica cover plate is a 5-module cover plate for the Vimar Idea switching system, with clamp mounting, a 170 x 82 x 8.9 mm face size, and support for either horizontal or vertical installation. It is suitable for built-in installations, wall ducts, and subfloor installation duct boxes, and it includes a label surface for marking circuits or functions.

For boat interiors, this plate makes sense in protected spaces such as cabins, galleys, chart tables, or enclosed helm areas where several controls are grouped in one place. The body is halogen-free thermoplastic with a lacquered matte surface, and its IP00 rating means it should be used in dry interior positions rather than exposed weather locations.

Key features

• 5-module Classica plate for Vimar Idea installations
• Clamp mounting with horizontal or vertical orientation
• 170 x 82 x 8.9 mm overall dimensions
• Suitable for built-in installation, wall ducts, and subfloor installation duct boxes
• Label surface for identifying circuits, functions, or grouped controls
• IP00 construction for protected interior locations

Variants

This range is offered in several color and finish combinations, so the appearance can be matched to surrounding trim and existing switch layouts without changing the basic plate format.

Across the listed versions, the format stays the same: a 5-module Classica plate with clamp mounting, the same 170 x 82 x 8.9 mm footprint, and horizontal or vertical installation. The changes are color and finish/material. Plastic versions are available in black, bright white, Idea white, and graphite, while Silk versions are available in black, graphite, and Idea white.

Compatibility and fit

This plate is intended for Vimar Idea modular devices in a 5-module arrangement. It suits refits where the vessel already uses the Idea range and you want a new plate to line up with existing switch positions, trim, and panel openings. The module count, mounting style, and face dimensions are the main checks when replacing an older plate or planning a new interior panel.

Use on board

In practice, this style of plate works well for grouped lighting controls, cabin service switches, or other modular controls gathered in one location. The label space is useful when several functions sit together, such as at a companionway, beside a berth, or near a galley panel. Because the plate itself is IP00, it is better reserved for interior joinery and protected bulkheads instead of open deck, wet locker, or washdown areas.
