The Aipulan factory’s AU Surge Protector Socket is developed for Australian-standard electrical applications, providing everyday power connection together with additional surge protection for televisions, computers, routers, printers, POS equipment and other electronic devices.
Rated at 230V AC / 50Hz, 10A and 2300W, the socket incorporates surge-protection components and a safety shutter. It is suitable for homes, offices and commercial environments where electronic equipment remains connected to the power supply for extended periods.
Aipulan's core team has been involved in smart socket and power-product development since the 1990s, while the company was formally established in 2011. Today, production covers injection molding, component insertion, wave soldering, AOI inspection, assembly and aging testing.

A standard socket provides electrical connection. A surge-protection socket adds another function: helping reduce the effect of transient voltage disturbances.
Lightning-related electrical disturbances, equipment switching and grid fluctuations can produce short-duration voltage or current surges. These conditions are outside the normal operating range of electronic devices such as computers, televisions, routers and POS systems.
For this reason, buyers are often looking for more than an ordinary AU socket. They need a product that provides:
Australian-standard electrical compatibility;
10A-rated everyday power connection;
Surge protection;
Safety shutter construction;
Stable production for ongoing supply.
The Aipulan AU Surge Protector Socket is developed around these practical purchasing requirements.
This socket is designed for electronic equipment that remains connected to the power supply during everyday operation.
Typical applications include televisions, computers and routers at home; printers, monitors and networking equipment in offices; and POS terminals and other electronics in retail environments.
The internal surge-protection components are specified with a 6500A maximum peak current at 8/20μs. This gives buyers a measurable reference when evaluating the surge-protection construction under standardized test conditions.
Socket-level surge protection is part of an overall electrical protection system and should not be regarded as a replacement for building-level lightning protection or upstream distribution protection.
In addition to surge protection, the socket uses a safety shutter mechanism.
The shutter is positioned inside the socket openings and operates with a compatible plug during normal insertion, helping reduce direct access to internal electrical contacts.
This feature is particularly useful in homes, offices, hotels and other environments where sockets are frequently accessed.
The product is rated for a maximum current of 10A, corresponding to a maximum total load of 2300W at 230V.
This capacity covers many common household and office devices, including computers, televisions, displays, routers, printers and other electronics.
For refrigerators, air conditioners, motors, compressors and other equipment with significant starting current, the actual equipment rating and starting conditions should be evaluated rather than relying only on the 2300W nominal load.
Aipulan's strength is not limited to product design. It also comes from how the product is manufactured.
Production of the socket involves injection molding, component insertion, wave soldering, AOI inspection, automatic assembly and aging testing.
The housing can be produced through in-house injection molding, while electronic assemblies are inspected by AOI after insertion and soldering before final assembly and testing. Keeping key manufacturing processes in-house helps control construction, materials and assembly consistency.
A surge-protection product cannot be evaluated by appearance inspection alone.
Depending on the production requirements, Aipulan performs voltage surge testing, wave-soldering inspection, AOI automatic optical inspection, aging testing and appearance durability checks.
AOI helps identify potential defects in electronic soldering and assembly. Aging testing evaluates continuous operation, while surge testing checks the product's surge-protection function.
This multi-stage inspection approach extends quality control from electronic assembly through to the finished socket.
For customers developing their own Australian-market product line rather than purchasing a standard stock model, Aipulan provides OEM and ODM support.
Available customization includes:
Housing color Logo Product appearance Socket quantity Color box Packaging
For volume orders, product appearance, construction, electrical specifications and packaging can be confirmed during the sample stage before mass production.
Ningbo Aipulan Lighting Technology Co., Ltd.’s Surge Protector Socket complies with EU LVD Directive 2014/35/EU and EMC Directive 2014/30/EU. It has passed testing to EN IEC 62368-1:2024+A11:2024 for safety and a full suite of EN EMC standards, qualifying for CE marking.
Suitable for televisions, computers, routers, gaming equipment, audio systems and other household electronics.
Suitable for computers, displays, printers, networking equipment, POS systems and conference equipment.
Suitable for POS equipment, display equipment, small electronic devices and other everyday commercial applications.
Suitable for televisions, networking equipment and other electronic devices used in guest rooms and common areas.
If the customer only needs basic power connection, a standard AU socket may be sufficient.
When the connected equipment contains sensitive electronics or the buyer wants additional protection against transient surges, the socket provides a more suitable configuration.

Aipulan factory's core team has worked on intelligent remote-control sockets and related power products since the 1990s, and Aipulan was formally established in 2011.
Today, the company operates production capabilities covering injection molding, component insertion, wave soldering, AOI inspection, automatic assembly and aging testing.
The key manufacturing processes can be managed within one production system, making specification confirmation, sample modification, mass production and quality control more straightforward.
It is designed to help reduce transient surge effects at the socket level. It should not be considered a replacement for building lightning protection or upstream surge protection equipment.
It refers to the maximum peak surge-current specification under an 8/20μs test waveform. It provides a technical reference for evaluating the surge-protection component.
The product is rated up to 2300W at 230V, so a 2000W resistive load is within the nominal power rating. The appliance's actual current and operating characteristics should still be checked before use.
Yes. Samples can be arranged before bulk production so buyers can evaluate the socket structure, appearance, specifications and packaging.
We support customization of product appearance, housing color, logo, socket quantity, color box and packaging. Specific requirements can be confirmed during sample development.
Key processes include injection molding, component insertion, wave soldering, AOI inspection, assembly and aging testing. Bulk production is arranged after the product specification and sample are confirmed.
