Overview

The Vimar Idea push button is a 1P normally open control device with a general symbol, a 10 A 250 V rating, and IP40 protection for flush-mounted modular panels. It is the luminous version for a signalling unit and is supplied without the signalling unit itself. The body is thermoplastic with a matt finish, snap-in fastening, and a front label space for circuit identification.

On board, this type of push button fits protected interior locations where a momentary contact is needed, such as cabin lighting control, relay triggering, or auxiliary functions at a nav station or cabin entry panel. Its IP40 rating makes it a better match for dry or lightly sheltered spaces than for exposed deck or washdown areas.

Key features

• 1P normally open push button with a general symbol for momentary control functions
• Rated 10 A at 250 V
• Luminous version for a signalling unit, with the signalling unit supplied separately
• Flush-mounted modular device with snap-in fastening
• Available in 1-module, 2-module, and 3-module formats
• Gray and ivory front options across the range
• Thermoplastic construction with a matt finish and halogen-free body
• Front label space for identifying circuits or functions
• IP40 protection for interior panel positions away from direct spray

Variants

Across this range, the differences are module width and front color. The push button is available as 1-module, 2-module, and 3-module versions, and each size is offered in gray or ivory so the control point can match the surrounding Idea frame and plate layout.

The core function stays the same across the family: a single push button with a 1P NO contact, 10 A 250 V rating, general symbol, luminous provision for a signalling unit, and IP40 protection.

Installation and fit

This unit is made for built-in mounting with engage-snap fastening and sits within the Vimar Idea modular system. The module count matters at the panel level, so the chosen version needs to match the support frame, cover plate, and the space available at the helm, cabin bulkhead, or interior switch panel.

The front label space is useful where several controls sit together and need clear identification, especially on multi-function interior panels.

Use on board

This range suits boats that already use Vimar Idea devices and need a momentary push input instead of a maintained rocker. It is a good match for interior lighting commands, relay pulses, or other auxiliary controls in cabins, passages, and enclosed helm areas where the switch is kept out of direct weather.
