Waterproof connectors for any outdoor environment
Techno is a leading Italian manufacturer of overmolded, waterproof connectors for outdoor applications. With their extensive range of IP68 and IP69K connector solutions, Techno offers maximum reliability in demanding environments such as horticulture, street lighting, architectural lighting, swimming pools, and industrial installations. The range spans from simple cable connectors to complete waterproof plug-and-play systems – Techno makes electrical connections simple, quick to connect, and reliable.
See here where Techno can make the difference for your application.
IP68 & IP69K waterproofing
Techno offers IP68 connectors and IP69K connectors that provide maximum protection against water, dust and high-pressure cleaning. This prevents Techno, with the help of an additional anti-condensation block, from moisture condensation entering the connector via the cable. These waterproof connectors are ideal for outdoor lighting, horticulture and other demanding applications where reliability is essential. Thanks to intensive testing, Techno waterproof connectors continue to perform safely and fault-free over the long term.
Ultracompact, waterproof connectors
Techno is also known for its ultra-compact, waterproof connectors that take up minimal space while delivering maximum performance. Thanks to the smart design, these IP68 connectors and IP69K connectors fit perfectly into narrow fixtures, garden lighting, and architectural installations. The small form factor ensures a neat, aesthetic installation, while the generous cable entry makes it easy to bridge longer cable distances safely and reliably.
Fast & error-free connection in the field
Techno offers waterproof plug&play connectors with screw terminals for fast wiring with solid and flexible cables. This makes installation much more flexible than with pre-wired solutions. The Easy-Click locking system or a push-pull locking mechanism ensure ultra-fast coupling and uncoupling. This saves installers time and keeps the connection between plug and counterpart mechanically strong and reliable. You don’t have to worry about installation errors. Because the seal is overmoulded onto the contact block, you prevent leakage and the chance of installation errors is virtually nil. Ideal for any IP68 connector or IP69K connector application where speed and certainty are crucial.
Wide range of waterproof connectors
Techno offers an extensive range of waterproof connectors, from simple cable connectors, flexible distribution boxes, smart power distributors to complete IP68 connector and IP69K connector plug-and-play systems. Thanks to the many versions – straight, T and Y splitters, mini connectors and multipole solutions – a reliable and durable connection is available for every outdoor application
Techno xDRY® technology
In applications where temperature and pressure differences occur, moisture can enter through the cable and cause condensation. That jeopardizes the electrical operation of your installation. Because ventilation is often not possible (for example due to lack of space, water, or dirt), the connector becomes a crucial factor for the reliability of the whole. Especially in outdoor applications where moisture, rain, or temperature fluctuations play a role, a waterproof connector is essential.
Fully moisture-resistant xDRY® connectors
Techno therefore developed the xDRY® connector range: a series of waterproof connectors that go beyond standard sealing and provide absolute IP66/IP68/IP69K protection – from the inside and the outside. This xDRY® technology is a real added value compared to classic IP68 connectors and IP69K connectors.
The special anti-condensation layer prevents moisture from entering the connector through capillary action. This keeps the electrical contacts optimally protected, even in harsh outdoor conditions, such as garden lighting, facade lighting, signage, or damp technical rooms.
xDRY® series
- TH387 – plug & socket (cable/cable & panel-mount)
- TH391 – waterproof junction connector
- TH392 – inline cable joiner (cable/cable & panel-mount)
Higher reliability
Thanks to the xDRY® technology, the risk of moisture-related failures is much smaller. This results in:
- a higher operational reliability,
- less maintenance,
- and a significantly longer service life of the entire installation.
Waterproof plug & socket connectors
compact IP68/IP69K connectors, quickly connected in the field
Techno’s plug & socket connectors have been developed for fast, safe, and completely watertight connections in outdoor lighting and technical installations. Designed with maximum reliability in mind, these connectors offer a combination of:
- Robust protection against water, dust, and extreme conditions (IP68 / IP69K rating)
- Various mounting options: pre-installed solutions, plug-and-play connections, screw and push-pull locking
- Wide range of cable and power configurations: different pole counts and power ratings, suitable for both standard and heavier-duty applications
- From compact (Ø 23 mm) to ultra-compact (Ø 14 mm), so they fit applications where space is very limited.
- Easy and error-free field installation: for installers, assembly is fast and intuitive, while manufacturers can focus on design and reliability
Whether it’s architectural lighting, industrial outdoor setups, sensor networks, or installation in challenging outdoor environments: Techno offers a connector solution that is technically robust and installer-friendly.
Waterproof power distributors
Compact plug-&-socket power distributors
Within the plug-&-socket range, Techno also offers compact, pre-assembled IP68 power distributors. Each distributor features one input and three outputs, ideal for fast and safe branching in outdoor environments.
These power distributors offer:
- Fast installation thanks to the plug-&-socket system — less work in the field.
- Fully watertight and dust-tight operation (IP68) — reliable in wet, muddy, or underground applications.
- Less maintenance and downtime thanks to excellent sealing and mechanical protection.
The junction box is fully sealed and equipped with an anti-leak seal. With protective caps, the distributor can also be used modularly. The TH625 Micronnect adds integrated LED indicators for extra visibility and to avoid installation errors.

Waterproof junction boxes
Techno IP68 junction boxes for outdoor installations
Techno’s junction boxes are designed for reliable and completely watertight cable connections in demanding outdoor environments. With their IP68 enclosure, robust plastic construction, and high-quality seals, Techno junction boxes protect all internal connections against moisture, dust, corrosion, and mechanical stress. Thanks to the spacious interior and flexible cable entries, installers can work quickly, neatly, and error-free — even when multiple cables come together at one point.
The TH212 family from Techno is a modular IoT “smart” box that can integrate various devices, both standard and custom electronics, as well as different connection modules (single wires or cable connections). The box is available in various configurations for both indoor and outdoor use:
- Mini junction box, 5-ways, M16/M20, IP54–65–66 without screws and IP67 with screws
- Zhaga Book 18-ready
- Plug-&-play-ready
