Vimar Plana 1P NC Pushbutton Mechanism, 10A 250V, Lightable, IP40

Overview

The Vimar VM14010.0 is a Plana-series 1-pole, normally-closed (NC) push button mechanism rated 10 A at 250 V AC, and it accepts a locator or indicator light when paired with a compatible light module. In NC operation the circuit is closed at rest and opens while you press the button, then returns to closed when released.

This mechanism is meant for flush mounting in Plana modular plates and is completed with a 1-, 2- or 3-module button. With an IP40 protection rating, it belongs in protected interior locations such as a cabin switch panel, nav station, or inside a console, not in areas exposed to spray or washdowns.

Key features

• 1-pole NC momentary contact: circuit opens only while the button is pressed
• Electrical rating: 10 A at 250 V AC for circuits that stay within the switch rating
• Lightable mechanism that supports adding an indicator or locator light with a compatible light module
• Completes with 1-, 2- or 3-module Plana button to match common modular panel layouts
• Flush-mounted form factor with snap-in fastening for quick installation in the support
• Halogen-free thermoplastic body with glossy white finish (RAL 9003)
• IP40 protection for dry, enclosed spaces behind a panel
• Compact size: 22.3 mm wide, 49.0 mm high, 38.7 mm deep

Compatibility and fit

This mechanism is part of the Vimar Plana modular system. It is intended to be finished with a matching Plana button and installed into the appropriate Plana mounting support and cover plate format for your panel.

Installation and wiring

Plan the function first: an NC push button is commonly used where the circuit should remain closed until someone presses the button, such as an alarm loop, interlock, or a control input that needs to open on command. For switching loads directly, confirm the load type and switching current are within the 10 A, 250 V AC rating and that your enclosure and wiring are suitable for the circuit on board.

Once installed, the engage snap fastening holds the mechanism in place. After a few trips, it is worth re-checking terminal tightness since boats see vibration and temperature swings.

Use on board

This is a good match for refits or new builds that already use Plana modules in interior panels and want a push button that keeps the panel tidy and stays easy to service. If the mounting spot is anywhere that regularly sees salt spray, rain, or washdowns, a sealed, higher-IP device is the better fit.

Maintenance and care

Keep the face and surrounding plate clean and dry, and avoid aggressive solvents that can haze glossy plastics. In technical spaces, a quick periodic check for moisture ingress and corrosion at the terminals helps prevent intermittent faults.

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.
