Vimar Idea 2P USA+EU Socket Outlet, 250V, IP20, Flush Mount, Screw Terminal

Overview

The Vimar Idea 16233 is a 1-module USA+EU socket outlet for 250 V AC circuits where you need a polarized Euro-American connection on board. It is rated 15 A at 250 V and accepts plugs with parallel flat blades and 4.8 mm round pins. With IP20 protection, it is meant for flush-mounted use in dry interior locations rather than exposed deck or washdown areas.

On a boat, this suits cabins, saloons, galleys, and other protected spaces where crew or guests may use equipment with either USA or Euro style plugs. The body is thermoplastic with a matt untreated finish, the construction is halogen-free, and the rear uses screw terminals for a straightforward installation within the Vimar Idea system.

Key features

• Polarized USA+EU outlet format for plugs with parallel flat blades and 4.8 mm round pins
• 15 A, 250 V rating for 50/60 Hz AC circuits
• Flush-mounted 1-module format for Vimar Idea installations
• Screw terminal connection for fixed wiring behind the panel
• IP20 protection for protected interior mounting points
• Thermoplastic halogen-free body with a matt finish
• Built-in label space for circuit identification

Variants

This outlet is offered in two color configurations.

Across both versions, the outlet format, 15 A / 250 V rating, 1-module size, IP20 protection, flush-mounted installation, and screw terminal connection stay the same. The visible finish is what changes.

• VM16233.B: Color Ivory. This lighter finish works well with pale interior panels and trim.
• VM16233: Color Gray. This darker finish gives more contrast on light bulkheads and panels.

Compatibility and fit

Before ordering, check that the mounting point is set up for the Vimar Idea module system and that there is room for a device body measuring 24.8 mm wide, 50.1 mm high, and 38.5 mm deep. This is a single outlet with no switch and no hinged lid.

It is a good match for boats that regularly deal with mixed plug standards inside the cabin, especially at berths, seating areas, or around small galley appliances and chargers. It makes less sense in wet lockers, open cockpits, or any location that needs a sealed outlet face.

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.
