Overview

The Vimar ARKÉ Series is a 2P+E USA+EU SICURY outlet range for installations that need a polarized Euro-American socket in a 2-module format. Across the listed versions, the outlet is rated 16 A at 250 V, runs at 50 to 60 Hz, and measures 44.8 x 49 x 36 mm, which helps when you are checking panel depth and module space before a refit.

This outlet uses screw terminals for fixed wiring and a flush-mounted snap-engagement format that fits the ARKÉ modular system. Enhanced contact protection is built in, and the body is halogen-free thermoplastic with an IP20 rating, so it makes more sense in protected interior spaces than in areas exposed to spray or washdowns.

Key features

• Polarized Euro-American 2P+E socket format for mixed USA and EU plug compatibility
• Rated 16 A, 250 V, 50 to 60 Hz for standard AC outlet circuits
• 2-module body sized at 44.8 x 49 x 36 mm for flush installations with limited panel depth
• Screw-terminal connection for fixed wiring behind the panel
• Snap-engagement mounting for ARKÉ modular installations
• Enhanced contact protection built into the outlet
• Halogen-free thermoplastic body with IP20 protection for dry interior locations

Variants

This product is offered in multiple finish configurations within the same ARKÉ outlet format.

Across the listed variants, the electrical rating, 2-module body, screw-terminal connection, flush-mounted installation, and IP20 indoor-use profile stay the same. The change between versions is the finish label shown for each part number.

• VM19248: Finish Grey. This version keeps a subdued look on darker cabin furniture, switch panels, and technical interior spaces.
• VM19248.M: Finish Metal. This gives the outlet a metallic-looking face for installations that use metal-toned hardware and trim.
• VM19248.B: Finish White/Antibacterial. This version keeps a light appearance on white or pale interior panels and accommodation spaces.

Compatibility and fit

This outlet is a better match for cabins, saloons, galleys, and helm interiors where the mounting surface stays dry and protected. On boats, that matters because IP20 is suited to interior locations, not open deck, cockpit coamings, or any spot that sees direct spray, rain, or washdown water.

It also helps to confirm that your project uses the Vimar ARKÉ modular system and has space for a 2-module device before ordering. For mixed-use vessels and international crews, the polarized Euro-American socket format can simplify outlet selection where both USA and EU style plugs may be encountered.

Installation and setup

The screw-terminal connection is useful when the outlet is being wired into a fixed AC circuit behind a flush panel. Check conductor sizing, circuit protection, and the rest of the mounting hardware against the vessel's electrical plan before installation, especially on 230 V systems and when refitting an existing panel cutout.
