ODM Surge Protector
Manufacturer.
Your Design. Built to Spec.
You have the drawings, specifications, or performance requirements. We have the engineering team, tooling capability, and 25-year production infrastructure to manufacture surge protectors that match your exact design โ not a compromise.
OEM vs ODM โ
Which One Is You?
These two services look similar but serve completely different needs. Make sure you're on the right page.
You want to sell our products under your brand
You have your own design and want us to build it
Six Ways We Can Build
To Your Specification
From minor parameter adjustments to full ground-up product development โ here's the full scope of what TrilPeak's ODM service covers.
Parameter Modification
Housing & Form Factor
Connection & Installation
Full New Product Development
CE Certification for Your Custom Product
Branded Documentation Package
From Specification to
Certified Production
ODM is a structured engineering process. Unlike OEM where products are ready to ship, ODM involves real design work โ and we want to be transparent about what that means for timelines and process.
We start every ODM project with a free feasibility assessment. Send us your specification or drawings and we will respond within 24 hours with a clear statement of what is achievable, what the tooling or development cost would be, and a realistic project timeline.
There is no obligation at the feasibility stage. We want you to have accurate information before any commitment is made.
๐ NDA Before Any Technical Discussion
We sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement before you share any proprietary drawings, specifications, or performance data with us. Your intellectual property is protected from the first technical conversation โ not as an afterthought.

The In-House Capabilities
That Make ODM Possible
Most factories outsource tooling, MOV procurement, and testing โ adding cost, time, and quality risk. TrilPeak owns the full production chain in-house.

Common Questions About
Custom SPD Development
Ready to discuss your project?
Send us your specification or drawings โ even a rough brief. Our engineering team will respond within 24 hours with a feasibility assessment at no charge.
You don't need a complete specification to start. A brief description of what you need is enough for an initial conversation โ for example: "We need a Type 2 SPD in a compact housing for a 480V AC system, with a specific terminal configuration for our panel design."
For a formal feasibility assessment, the more detail you can provide the better: electrical parameters (voltage, current ratings, Up), mechanical requirements (dimensions, mounting), target certification, and estimated annual volume. We can work from rough briefs, detailed drawings, or anything in between.
We sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before any technical specifications, drawings, or proprietary information is shared with our team. This is non-negotiable โ we initiate the NDA, not you.
Additionally, ODM products developed exclusively for you are not offered to other customers. Your product design, tooling, and specifications remain yours. We do not cross-sell ODM designs between clients under any circumstances.
Development and tooling cost varies significantly depending on the scope. Parameter modifications to an existing product (custom voltage, current rating) may involve minimal tooling cost. New housing development requiring new injection moulds typically involves tooling investment, which we quote precisely after reviewing your mechanical requirements.
We provide a detailed cost breakdown in the engineering proposal โ development cost, tooling cost, unit pricing, and certification cost are all itemised separately. Tooling costs are typically amortised over the production volume, reducing effective unit cost at scale.
Timeline depends heavily on the scope of customisation and the target certification:
Parameter modification only (using existing housing and platform): 4โ8 weeks to certified product.
New housing with parameter changes: 10โ16 weeks including tooling and certification.
Full new product development: 16โ26 weeks depending on complexity and certification requirements.
We provide a confirmed project schedule at the proposal stage. Certification lab timelines are the most variable factor โ we select labs with the fastest turnaround for your target certification.
Currently, TrilPeak's standard certification pathway for ODM products is CE (Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and EMC Directive 2014/30/EU), type tested to IEC 61643-11. This covers all EU member states and EEA countries โ the most commonly requested certification for our client base.
If your target market requires other certifications such as UL (North America) or TรV, we recommend discussing this at the feasibility stage. We can advise on the best pathway and whether third-party laboratory coordination is required for your specific requirements.
ODM MOQ is discussed on a per-project basis and depends on the tooling investment and product complexity. Generally, products requiring significant tooling investment need higher volumes to make the economics work โ typically 1,000 pcs or more for full new tooling development. Parameter modifications with minimal tooling can often be produced at lower volumes.
We discuss MOQ and pricing openly in the engineering proposal so you can make a fully informed decision before committing to the project.
