Vimar 8000 Series 1P Key-Operated 1-Way Switch, 10AX, 250V

Overview

The Vimar 8000 Series is a family of 1P 10 AX 1-way key-operated switches for 250 V~ circuits, built for flush mounting in protected interior installations. It supports self-ballasted lamps up to 100 W and uses screw terminals, which makes it relevant for controlled switching points where casual operation needs to be limited.

On board, this range fits enclosed cabins, service spaces, and other interior panels where a keyed switch makes sense and direct water exposure is not expected. The IP40 housing, halogen-free thermoplastic body, matt beige finish in RAL 9001, and 33.5 mm built-in depth suit modular installations that need a clean flush-mounted look.

Key features

• 1P 10 AX 250 V~ keyed 1-way switch format for access-controlled AC switching
• Supports self-ballasted lamp loads up to 100 W under IEC 60669-1:2017
• Flush-mounted modular body with screw-terminal connections
• IP40 protection for protected interior locations rather than exposed wet areas
• Halogen-free thermoplastic construction with matt beige finish in RAL 9001
• 45 mm device height, 43 mm device depth, and 33.5 mm built-in depth for panel planning

Variants

This range is offered in three key formats. The switch body stays within the same 8000 Series platform, so the main difference between versions is how the key is handled in daily use.

Across the listed versions, the electrical rating, flush-mounted format, screw-terminal connection, IP40 protection, and beige halogen-free thermoplastic body remain the same. What changes is the key type.

• VM08380.S: Key type Key In Off. The key can be removed only when the switch is in the OFF position, which suits circuits that should return to a locked-off state when not in use.
• VM08380.CU: Key type Unified Key. This version uses the unified key format while keeping the same switch body and electrical rating.
• VM08380: Key type Standard. This is the standard keyed version of the same 1-way switch platform.

Compatibility and fit

This switch belongs to the Vimar 8000 modular range, so fit should be checked against the matching support, frame, and cover arrangement already used in the panel. The published rating is 250 V~, which places it in AC switching work and not as a general replacement for a 12V or 24V DC switch without checking the circuit design and ratings first.

Use on board

This range is a good match for boats that need a keyed AC switch in a protected interior spot, such as a cabin lighting point, a service compartment, or a restricted-use control panel. It also makes sense in refit work where the vessel already uses Vimar 8000 modules and the goal is to keep the panel layout consistent.

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.
