Vimar Idea Push Button Switch, 1P NO, 10A 250V, IP40, Flush Mount

Overview

The Vimar Idea 16080 is a flush-mount, single-pole normally open (NO) push button rated 10 A at 250 V AC for panel switching where a momentary contact is needed.

It is an IP40 device with a thermoplastic body and a matte front. Size is 24.8 mm wide, 50.1 mm high, and 36.1 mm deep, which helps when you are fitting it into a tight switch panel and still need room behind for wiring.

On boats, this style of push button is often used on interior switchboards and cabin panels for control circuits such as a call bell, a ventilation trigger, or a relay input, where the contact closes when the button is pressed.

Key features

• 10 A, 250 V AC rating with a single-pole NO contact
• Flush-mounted modular device with engage (snap) fastening
• IP40 protection for indoor, dry mounting locations
• Thermoplastic construction with halogen-free material quality
• Matte surface finish and label space for clear identification on a panel
• Device dimensions: 24.8 mm (W) x 50.1 mm (H) x 36.1 mm (D)

Variants

This push button is offered in multiple configurations to match the look and labeling of an existing IDEA panel. The range varies by color (Gray or Ivory), the front symbol (Standard, Bell, Fan, or Key), and whether the front has an indicator.

Versions marked with an indicator use a luminescent locator to help you find the button in low light. Versions without an indicator have no lighting.

Compatibility and fit

This is a 1-module IDEA device meant to be installed as part of the Vimar IDEA modular system. For a clean fit, match it to the correct IDEA mounting support and cover plate already used on your boat, and confirm the cutout and rear clearance suit the 36.1 mm device depth.

If you are replacing an existing button, double-check the color and symbol so the finished panel stays consistent and is easy for crew and guests to understand.

Installation and setup

Plan the mounting location as a dry, protected interior area such as a cabin bulkhead panel, nav station switchboard, or a protected electrical cabinet door. IP40 is not intended for exposed cockpits, washdowns, or areas that see direct spray.

Allow enough space behind the panel for wiring bends and strain relief so vibration does not work the conductors loose over time. As with any 250 V AC circuit on board, isolate power before work and use installation practices that fit the standards and regulations for your vessel.

Use on board

The symbol options help keep a panel readable at a glance. The Bell symbol is commonly used for call or alert functions, the Fan symbol for ventilation controls, and the Key symbol for access or service functions where you want a clear visual cue.

Maintenance and care

Wipe the front with a soft cloth. Avoid aggressive solvents that can haze or soften thermoplastics, and keep the device out of direct spray and standing moisture to maintain reliable operation.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
