Vimar ARKÉ Series USB-C Charging Port, 12/24VDC to 5VDC Converter, White Finish

Overview

The Vimar VM19343.K.B-USB is an Arké USB-C charging port in white for boats that use a 12V or 24V DC electrical system. It includes a 12/24 VDC to 5 VDC converter, so it can bring standard USB-C charging power to a cabin, helm, nav station, galley, or protected cockpit area without relying on an AC outlet.

This unit is a practical match for onboard phone, tablet, headset, camera, and accessory charging where a clean built-in Vimar Arké finish is needed. The white face works well with light-colored switch plates and interior panels, while the DC input keeps it suited to common marine battery systems.

Key features

• USB-C charging port for powering portable devices at the point of use
• Includes a converter that steps 12/24 VDC input down to 5 VDC output
• Suitable for boats with either 12V or 24V DC house electrical systems
• White Arké finish helps match light switch plates and interior trim
• Useful at the helm, nav desk, cabin berth, galley, or other protected charging location
• Built-in format helps keep charging cables organized compared with loose plug-in adapters

Installation and setup

Plan the installation around a protected interior or sheltered panel location where the USB-C port is easy to reach and where the converter can be wired safely into the vessel’s DC supply. As with any low-voltage boat wiring, circuit protection, cable sizing, and connections should match the vessel’s electrical layout and applicable marine practice.

Before cutting or ordering trim pieces, confirm that the surrounding switch plate and support frame are from the Vimar Arké range. This is especially important on refits, where different Vimar series may already be installed on the same vessel.

Use cases on board

This charging port makes sense for owners who want a fixed USB-C point near navigation electronics, seating areas, or berths where devices are charged every day. It is also a tidy upgrade for cruisers and fishing boats where passengers need charging access without leaving loose adapters in outlets.
