Five OEM Service Tiers: Stock → White Label → Custom OEM → Full ODM → Replacement
Sunshine ships oem power supply, oem adapter, and custom cable builds across five OEM service tiers. Each tier has a different buyer-involvement profile, MOQ, lead time, and cert-documentation owner — letting your procurement team self-identify the tier that fits your build before the first RFQ. The table below is the page’s quick-reference; deeper detail follows in the per-tier sections.
| Service Tier | Buyer Involvement | What Sunshine Does | Typical MOQ | Lead Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stock SKU (catalog) | Browse + buy | Ship existing-mold adapter or cable | Low (≤500) | 1-3 weeks |
| White Label | Pick stock spec + custom branding | Sunshine's adapter / cable, your label or molding | 3,000+ | 6-8 weeks |
| Custom OEM | Spec from scratch | Custom voltage / connector / cert / molding / cable | 5,000+ | 10-16 weeks |
| Full ODM | High-level brief only | Sunshine designs to your product target | 25,000+ | 16-24 weeks |
| Replacement / refurbisher | Spec match to OEM original | Match-or-improve OEM voltage / connector / cable | 50K+ / yr volume | 10-14 weeks (first build) |
Stock SKU & White Label: Off-the-Shelf and Branded Catalog Tiers
For builds where you don’t need fully custom engineering, Sunshine ships across two off-the-shelf tiers — Stock SKU for catalog buying at sub-3,000-unit volumes, and White Label for procurement teams that want Sunshine’s existing-tooling adapter or cable shipped under their brand. Both tiers carry Sunshine’s existing cert documentation; the difference is how much branding customization you layer on top.
Stock SKU
Browse + BuyDefined power adapter or cable spec already matched to one of Sunshine's existing-mold catalog products. Browse the live desktop power adapter, wall-mount adapter, USB-C PD adapter, AC power cord, and GaN charger categories.
Cert documentation is pre-issued in Sunshine's name. Best fit for early-stage product launches, retail-channel SKU additions, prototype validation, and procurement plans where matched stock spec is more important than custom branding or unique connector tooling.
White Label
Stock + Your BrandingThe bridge tier between Stock SKU and full Custom OEM. Pick a Sunshine stock spec (voltage, current, connector, cert pathway) and add custom branding: your logo molded into the housing, your label printed on the cable strain relief, custom housing color, retail-ready packaging with your SKU artwork.
Cert documentation stays in Sunshine's name (relabeled with your branding for retail-channel listing). The OEM charger, oem adapter, OEM AC adapter, and OEM cord programs all run at this tier as default unless your build needs custom voltage / connector / cert work that pushes it into Custom OEM.
Custom OEM: Engineered to Your Spec, Cert Documentation in Your Name
Custom OEM is the tier where your build is engineered from your spec — not adapted from Sunshine’s catalog. Your engineering team specifies the voltage, current, connector, cable length, regional plug, cert pathway, branding, and packaging; Sunshine’s OEM program team scopes the build, costs the BOM, books the engineering hours, and ships first production typically in 10-16 weeks. Cert documentation is issued in your name — UL 62368-1, FCC Part 15 Class B, DOE Level VI, EU CoC Tier 2, IEC 62368-1, USB-IF (for USB-C PD builds), and regional overlays as your distribution markets require.
This is the tier most B2B procurement teams need. MOQ starts at 5,000 units with NRE for tooling and cert lab work amortized into the first-build economics. The customized power supply, custom power supplies, and custom power adapter deliverable, including end-to-end custom power supply design, spans the full voltage range (5V, 9V, 12V, 15V, 19V, 20V, 24V, 28V, 36V, 48V external AC/DC), all four standard barrel jack tools (5.5×2.1mm, 5.5×2.5mm, 3.5×1.35mm) plus USB-C and IEC C-series inputs, and any topology choice from silicon flyback through GaN-Si hybrid to full-GaN HEMT.
Sunshine’s Vinh Phuc Vietnam Custom OEM production line — IPC-A-610 Class 2 SMT and through-hole assembly across the full Custom OEM build queue, with cert documentation issued in your name.
Sunshine’s lead-free E-FLOW wave soldering machine — runs the IPC-A-610 Class 2 SMT and through-hole solder process on every Custom OEM and Full ODM PCB.
Full ODM: Sunshine's Engineering Team Designs to Your Product Target
Full ODM (Sunshine as your odm manufacturer) is the deepest service tier — your team brings a high-level product brief (target wattage, target retail price, target physical envelope, target launch market), and Sunshine’s engineering team handles the rest. Topology selection, BOM design, PCB layout, EMC simulation, thermal modeling, prototype build, cert lab navigation, and first-production handoff. The buyer’s involvement is product-target setting and design-review checkpoints; Sunshine owns the engineering deliverable.
Full ODM MOQ typically starts at 25,000 units with 16-24 week lead time depending on regional cert overlays and tooling complexity. This tier fits OEMs scaling new product lines, accessory programs, and retail-channel exclusives where Sunshine’s engineering bandwidth replaces your in-house EE team for the power-and-cable layer. The Full ODM service is also the entry point for configurable power supply programs (where the same adapter family ships at multiple wattages or output voltages from a single PCB design) and modular dc power supply builds.
Replacement / Refurbisher: Match-or-Improve OEM Original at Volume
The Replacement tier is the niche where Sunshine’s match-or-improve OEM original service ships at scale to refurbisher channels and reverse-logistics operations. Your team sends a reference adapter or cable spec — voltage, current, connector tooling, cable length, regional plug — and Sunshine’s engineering team matches the OEM original’s voltage regulation tolerance, current rating, connector tooling, and cable length within 24 hours of receiving the reference spec. Cert documentation is built around spec-match traceability rather than a fresh full-cert build, which is how the unit economics work for refurbisher-channel volumes.
Recurring 50,000+ unit annual buys ship across both Changzhou, China and Vinh Phuc, Vietnam plants for tariff-blended pricing on Section 301-exposed networking, computing, and consumer-electronics product classes. A 50,000-unit annual contract is approximately 0.5% of Sunshine’s Vietnam plant power-adapter capacity — easy absorption inside steady-state run rate. (The Replacement tier has its own dedicated Capabilities page covering refurbisher-specific procurement detail; this section is the entry point.)

Custom Engineering Capability Portfolio
The Custom OEM and Full ODM tiers run on Sunshine’s full engineering capability portfolio. Your build picks from this menu:
Voltage range: 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V, 19V, 20V, 24V, 28V, 36V, 48V external AC/DC (your custom dc power supply ships in any combination of these output voltages); PD-negotiated 5V to 28V on USB-C PD 3.1 EPR builds (240W ceiling). Current range: 0.5A to 5A standard; higher current available with NRE.
Connector tooling library: 5.5×2.1mm, 5.5×2.5mm, 3.5×1.35mm barrel jacks, USB-C with PD profile selection, IEC C5/C6/C7/C8/C13/C14 cord-set inputs, plus custom keyed connectors with NRE tooling. Topology: silicon flyback, GaN-Si hybrid, full-GaN HEMT, two-switch forward, LLC half-bridge — selected per BOM cost, size, efficiency, and wattage tradeoff.
Cert pathways: UL 62368-1, FCC Part 15 Class B, DOE Level VI, EU CoC Tier 2, IEC 62368-1, IEC 61010-1 (industrial), IEC 60601-1 (medical), USB-IF (USB-C PD), CE marking, RoHS, REACH — all engineered per project under Sunshine’s QC 080000 HSPM hazardous-substance management system.
Branding options: custom housing color and finish, logo molding, custom cable colors, custom strain reliefs, retail packaging, removable detachable cable variants. Production equipment: Sunshine’s Lead-free E-FLOW wave soldering machine, ST-516 AOI tester, ADSYS 7000 ICT tester, and Chroma 8030 / 8020 comprehensive auto-test rigs run every Custom OEM and Full ODM build under the same IPC-A-610 Class 2 acceptability spec as Sunshine’s stock product line.
From our OEM program team
the most common spec-decision tradeoff we see at the engineering-review stage is wattage envelope vs. cost-per-unit. Buyers initially over-spec wattage for design margin, which forces a larger transformer and a more expensive topology choice. We push back at design review with the actual operating-load profile — typically 60-70% of nameplate steady-state — and re-cost the BOM at the realistic wattage. Saves 8-15% on first-production unit cost without compromising thermal margin.

Cable & Wire OEM: HDMI, Network, Phone, AC Power Cable Manufacturing
The OEM service tiers above apply equally to Sunshine’s cable and wire harness production line. Your custom build can include HDMI cable assemblies (4K-rated channel performance, network-analyzer signal-integrity verified), Cat5e / Cat6 / Cat6a network patch cords (Fluke-certified per TIA/EIA-568), RJ11 phone cables, AC power cord-sets with regional plug variants, DC power cords, and USB-C cable assemblies (rated for PD 3.1 EPR up to 240W with E-Marker chip programming).
Cable production runs at 54.5 million units / year capacity at the Vietnam plant alone — 25M network cables, 13M phone cables, 10M AC power cables, and 6.5M HDMI cables across dedicated production lines. The same six-cert system posture (TL 9000, ISO 9001:2015 R6.2, ISO 27001:2022, ISO 14001:2015, ESD S20.20, QC 080000, BSCI) covers the cable side, and the cable production line carries its own IPC/WHMA-A-620 Class 2 acceptability standard plus the cable-specific reliability test bench (Fluke certifier, network analyzer, Xincheng XC-280 wire comprehensive tester, salt spray, cable bending, combustion testing). Custom OEM cable builds typically start at 5,000-10,000 unit MOQ with 8-12 week lead time including connector tooling and channel-cert lab work.

Six System Certifications Across Both Plants
Sunshine's six active system certifications (verifiable through IECEE-recognized accreditation bodies) are referenced in scope at both Changzhou and Vinh Phuc plants — every Custom OEM and Full ODM build ships under this six-cert system posture.
TL 9000-H R6.1 + ISO 9001:2015 R6.2
Telecom-industry-specific quality management — required by AT&T / Verizon / major-carrier supplier audit teams.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022
Information security — protects your engineering data, BOMs, and IP during multi-year OEM relationships.
ISO 14001:2015
Environmental management — EU regulatory + retail-channel sustainability compliance signal.
ESD S20.20-2021
Electrostatic discharge — formal ESD control program; grounded operator garments and traceable wrist-strap continuity.
QC 080000 HSPM
Hazardous Substance Process Management — formal RoHS / REACH implementation system across both plants.
amfori BSCI (rating C)
Business Social Compliance Initiative — ethical-sourcing audit required by retail-channel buyers (Walmart / Target tier).
Dual-Factory China + Vietnam: Tariff-Optimized OEM Production Routing
Every OEM service tier ships across dual-factory production in China and Vietnam — your build can be fully Changzhou-sourced, fully Vinh Phuc-sourced, or split between the two plants for tariff optimization on Section 301-exposed product classes. Changzhou, China (est. 2003, 200+ workers, 25,000 sqm) handles legacy-cert programs and proven tooling; Vinh Phuc, Vietnam (est. 2018, 600+ workers across two facilities, 12,000 sqm) handles tariff-sensitive volumes for North American distribution.
Both plants run identical six-cert documentation, identical IPC-A-610 Class 2 SMT acceptability, identical IPC/WHMA-A-620 Class 2 cable acceptability, identical hipot test methodology (3 kV AC for 1 second, 100% production sample), and the same approved-vendor list for components. Your engineering files don’t change when production routes between plants — and your cert documentation parity means your audit team’s findings at one plant apply to the other. Dual-factory is what makes Sunshine’s China+1 sourcing offering operationally real instead of paperwork.

Custom Power Supply OEM/ODM Manufacturing FAQ
What's the difference between OEM and ODM manufacturing?
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) means the customer specifies the build — voltage, connector, cert pathway, branding — and Sunshine engineers and produces to that spec. The customer owns the product design, and Sunshine is the contract manufacturer. ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) means Sunshine handles the engineering deliverable from a high-level product brief — Sunshine designs the topology, BOM, PCB layout, EMC posture, and cert path; the customer brings the product target (wattage, retail price, market, launch date) and the brand. An oem power supply contract is more common for buyers with in-house EE teams; ODM fits buyers scaling new product lines without internal power-engineering bandwidth.
What's the difference between a custom power supply and an off-the-shelf adapter?
An off-the-shelf adapter is whatever the catalog vendor's existing tooling produces — fixed voltage, fixed connector, fixed branding, pre-existing cert documentation in the vendor's name. A custom power supply is engineered from your specific spec: your voltage and current target, your connector tooling, your cable length and color, your housing color and logo, your cert pathway issued in your name, and your retail-channel packaging. The economic difference shows up at scale — off-the-shelf works at ≤500-unit MOQ; custom power supply economics are favorable from 5,000 units annual and become significantly favorable past 25,000 units annual.
What can I customize on a Sunshine OEM power adapter or cable build?
Voltage (5V to 48V external AC/DC, 5V-28V on USB-C PD), current (0.5A to 5A standard, higher on NRE), topology (silicon flyback, GaN-Si hybrid, full-GaN HEMT, LLC half-bridge), connector (5.5×2.1mm / 5.5×2.5mm / 3.5×1.35mm barrel jacks, USB-C, IEC C-series, custom keyed connectors), cable length and color, housing color and finish, logo molding and label printing, regional plug (NEMA 1-15P / BS 1363 / Schuko / AS-NZS 3112 / IEC 60906-1 / others), cert pathway (UL 62368-1, FCC Part 15, DOE Level VI, EU CoC Tier 2, IEC 62368-1, IEC 61010-1, IEC 60601-1, USB-IF, CE, RoHS, REACH), and retail packaging artwork. Cable builds add channel-performance certification (Fluke for Cat5e/Cat6/Cat6a, network-analyzer signal-integrity for HDMI) and connector tooling (RJ45, RJ11, USB-C with E-Marker programming).
What's the typical MOQ for a Custom OEM power adapter or cable build?
Custom OEM tier typically starts at 5,000 units for the first build, with NRE for tooling and cert lab work amortized into first-build economics. Full ODM starts at 25,000 units. White Label (your branding on Sunshine's stock spec) starts at 3,000 units. Stock SKU (existing-mold catalog adapter or cable) starts as low as 500 units. Replacement / refurbisher tier typically runs at 50,000+ unit annual buys. MOQ varies by build complexity — a custom regional-plug variant on existing tooling can hit 3,000-unit MOQ; a fully custom topology with custom connector tooling typically sits at the 10,000-unit baseline.
What's the typical lead time for a first-build OEM power adapter?
Custom OEM: 10-16 weeks total (engineering review 4-8 weeks + tooling 2-3 weeks + cert lab 4-8 weeks + first production 2-3 weeks, with parallel paths). Full ODM: 16-24 weeks depending on regional cert overlays and tooling complexity. White Label: 6-8 weeks (label artwork approval + packaging dies + first production). Stock SKU: 1-3 weeks. Replacement / refurbisher: 10-14 weeks first build, 6-8 weeks for follow-on production runs. Send your projected annual volume, target launch date, and regional cert requirements; Sunshine's OEM program team responds with a tiered quote in 24 hours.
Can Sunshine support white-label and private-label power adapter programs?
Yes. The White Label tier is built specifically for procurement teams that need Sunshine's existing-tooling adapter or cable shipped under their brand — your logo molded into the housing, your label printed on the cable wrap, your retail packaging artwork, your SKU in your catalog. Cert documentation stays in Sunshine's name (relabeled with your branding) for retail-channel listing, which is the economic difference vs. Custom OEM (where cert documentation is issued in your name). Private-label programs are common for retail-channel buyers (Walmart / Target / Costco-tier) where ethical-sourcing audit (Sunshine's amfori BSCI rating C) is also a procurement gate.
What cert pathways does Sunshine engineer for OEM builds?
Per project: UL 62368-1 (US ITE/A-V safety, replaced UL 60950-1), IEC 62368-1 (international equivalent), FCC Part 15 Class B (US emission), DOE Level VI (US active-mode efficiency), EU CoC Tier 2 under Ecodesign Regulation 2019/1782, CE marking (EU LVD/EMC), IEC 61010-1 (industrial test/measurement), IEC 60601-1 (medical electrical equipment), USB-IF (USB-C PD compliance for retail-channel logo eligibility), RoHS, and REACH. Cert engineering services are part of standard Custom OEM and Full ODM scope — no separate cert NRE for the standard pathway. ETL Listed (Intertek) and TUV cert paths are available on request as alternatives to UL.
How does Sunshine support repeat-order programs and product-line extensions?
Sunshine's OEM program team manages every account on a repeat-order baseline — your build's BOM, test plan, golden-unit records, and cert documentation are kept on file with traceable revision history. Product-line extensions (additional voltage variants, additional regional plug versions, additional wattage tiers from the same PCB design) typically run at 40-60% NRE discount vs. first-build economics because tooling and cert engineering carry over. Multi-year procurement contracts can split production across Changzhou, China and Vinh Phuc, Vietnam plants for tariff-blended pricing. The configurable power supply and modular dc power supply programs are designed specifically for procurement teams planning multi-SKU rollouts off a shared engineering platform.
