Overview

The Vimar Idea fuse carrier is a 1-pole 16 A, 250 V device for miniature cylindrical fuses in 5 x 20 mm and 6.3 x 32 mm sizes. It is supplied without the fuse, so the final protection can be matched to the circuit already installed on board.

This is a straightforward replacement part for panels built around Vimar Idea devices where you need a dedicated fuse holder rather than a combined breaker. Its single-pole format matters when you are checking how the protected circuit is arranged and whether the panel already uses this style of protection.

Key features

• 1-pole fuse carrier rated at 16 A and 250 V.
• Accepts miniature cylindrical fuses in 5 x 20 mm and 6.3 x 32 mm formats.
• Holder for cylindrical fuses, supplied without the fuse.
• Does not switch a neutral conductor at the same time.
• Part of the Vimar Idea device range for installations already using that series.

Variants

This product is offered in two color configurations.

The color changes between variants. The electrical rating, single-pole format, accepted fuse sizes, and no-fuse supply remain the same across both versions.

• VM16460.B: Color Ivory. This version suits panels and switch layouts finished in a lighter tone.
• VM16460: Color Gray. This version blends with gray Idea devices and surrounding panel trim.

Compatibility and fit

Because this is an Idea-series device, it is intended for installations already built around Vimar Idea components. Before ordering, confirm that the panel uses a single-pole fuse holder and that the protected circuit is set up for 5 x 20 mm or 6.3 x 32 mm miniature fuses.

On a boat, this type of fuse carrier makes the most sense where you want the electrical panel to stay visually consistent with the rest of the switches and outlets already in place. It is a good match for refit work at the helm, in the cabin, or in service panels where the existing layout is based on the Idea range.

Installation and use

The fuse is selected separately, so the body size and electrical value still need to be matched to the circuit, wire size, and load being protected. That makes this unit best suited to replacement work or panel builds where those fuse requirements are already known.

For owners and installers, the main buying checks are simple: Idea-series compatibility, single-pole protection, the 16 A and 250 V rating, and support for the two miniature fuse sizes this holder accepts.
