Overview

The Vimar 8000 Series is a flush-mounted 2P+E P17/11 socket outlet for 16 A, 250 V AC circuits, with screw terminals, IP20 protection, and a one-module body that measures 22 x 50.1 x 32.5 mm.

It fits protected interior installations on board where an Italian standard outlet is needed in a compact modular format. The body is made from halogen-free thermoplastic with a matt finish, and the outlet uses enhanced contact protection together with snap mounting for clean installation in compatible 8000 Series assemblies.

This is a 250 V AC device for 50 to 60 Hz systems, not a 12V or 24V accessory socket. On boats, it belongs in dry interior spaces tied into the vessel's AC distribution plan, such as cabins, enclosed saloons, and service panels away from spray.

Key features

• Italian standard P17/11 2P+E outlet rated for 16 A and 250 V AC
• 50 to 60 Hz operating range for standard AC onboard systems
• Flush-mounted one-module format for compact panel layouts
• Screw terminals for fixed rear wiring connections
• Snap mounting for straightforward installation in the matching modular system
• IP20 protection for protected interior locations
• Halogen-free thermoplastic body with matt untreated surface
• Enhanced contact protection inside the outlet

Variants

This outlet is offered in two color configurations within the same product family.

Across both versions, the electrical rating, mounting style, terminal type, protection level, and dimensions stay the same. The change between variants is the visible front color.

• VM08145, Color Ivory. This finish sits more quietly in light interiors and panels where a softer neutral tone is preferred.
• VM08145.R, Color Red. This finish stands out more clearly on the panel and makes the outlet easier to identify at a glance.

Installation and fit

The insert mounts flush and locks in with snap engagement. Wiring is landed on screw terminals at the rear, so it suits installations where conductors are terminated directly at the device rather than through a plug-in harness.

Before ordering, check that the vessel uses the Vimar 8000 modular format and that the mounting location can accept the 32.5 mm depth. Because the unit is rated IP20, it should be placed in protected interior areas rather than open cockpits, exterior helm stations, or washdown zones.

Use on board

This outlet makes sense on boats with Italian standard AC fittings and a built-in modular switch system. It is a practical match for accommodation spaces, enclosed navigation areas, and interior service points where a compact AC outlet is needed without moving to a larger surface-mounted fitting.
