Overview

This Vimar 1-way foot switch is an inline cord control for appliances that need simple on and off operation without using your hands. It uses a foot-operated mechanism, is rated at 250 V~ with 2 A nominal current, and supports loads from 0 to 500 W.

The switch is set up for flexible-cord installation with through-line terminals, plus earth and additional terminals for class I and class II appliances. For boat use, it makes the most sense in protected interior spaces such as cabins, berth lighting, chart areas, or other dry locations where a corded light or accessory needs floor-level control.

The housing is halogen-free thermoplastic with a matt finish. The range is offered in black or white, with the same electrical format across both versions.

Key features

Variants

This product is offered in two color configurations.

Across the range, the difference is the enclosure color. The switching format, 250 V~ rating, 2 A nominal current, 0 to 500 W load range, foot operation, and flexible-cord connection remain the same.

• VM00680: Color Black. Black enclosure with a white button. This version keeps the body less noticeable against darker interiors, trim, or cable runs.
• VM00680.B: Color White. White enclosure with a black button. This version blends more easily into lighter interiors and pale cord runs.

Installation and onboard use

This is an inline switch rather than a panel-mount unit, so it suits corded lamps and small onboard appliances where the switch needs to sit on the sole, near a bunk, or beside a work surface. Check the cord construction and conductor arrangement before fitting it into an existing lead.

Because no weather-sealing rating is stated, it is better suited to protected indoor locations than open deck or exposed cockpit installations. It is a good match for owners who want a straightforward foot switch on a cabin light, reading lamp, or similar corded device without adding a fixed wall switch.
