Vimar IDEA Series General Symbol Push Button, 1P NO, 10A, 250V, IP40

Overview

The Vimar IDEA Series is a range of 1P normally open push buttons with a general symbol for flush-mounted modular installations. Across the listed versions, the rating is 10 A at 250 V, the front size is 21.8 mm wide by 50.1 mm high, and the body clips into place with snap fastening.

This type of switch suits protected interior panels where the vessel is already built around the IDEA modular system. The housing is halogen-free thermoplastic with a matt finish and IP40 protection, and depth varies by version, with standard 1-module buttons at about 36.5 mm and the 2-module or luminous versions at 32.5 mm.

Key features

• 1P NO push button with general symbol, rated 10 A at 250 V
• Flush-mounted modular format with snap-in fastening for IDEA system installations
• Compact face size of 21.8 mm x 50.1 mm, with shallow depth that helps when panel space is limited
• Halogen-free thermoplastic body with matt surface and label area
• IP40 protection for sheltered interior mounting locations
• Range includes grey or white finishes, 1-module and 2 reduced-module formats, plus luminous versions for signalling applications

Variants

This range changes in three ways: colour, module format, and whether the button is arranged for illumination. Standard versions are available in grey or white as a 1-module device, and there are also grey and white versions that occupy 2 reduced modules.

The luminous versions are 1-module buttons in grey or white and are intended for use with a signalling unit, which is not included. The 10 A 250 V rating, single push-button operation, matt finish, halogen-free thermoplastic body, and IP40 protection stay the same across the listed versions.

Compatibility and fit

This is a good match when the boat or refit already uses Vimar IDEA supports, frames, and matching modules. Before ordering, check the panel layout for 1-module or 2 reduced-module spacing, confirm the finish you want, and verify the available depth behind the mounting point.

Because protection is IP40, it is better suited to protected cabin panels, interior helm areas, and technical spaces than to exposed deck locations or areas that see regular washdowns. For luminous versions, the signalling unit needs to be added separately during assembly.

Installation and use

The built-in format keeps the front neat and works well where several controls need to sit in one modular frame. The general symbol keeps the function neutral, which is useful on vessels where the same switch style is used across cabins, service panels, and protected control positions.

It also makes sense for owners and yards replacing one worn module without changing the rest of an existing IDEA installation. Matching the module width and colour is usually the main point to confirm before fitting.

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.
