To provide a connector in which a damper does not exert an attenuation force at a small earthquake, but exerts the attenuation force at a large earthquake.SOLUTION: A connector J comprises: an elongation-side stopper 2 and a contraction-side stopper 3 which are arranged at a rod 1; a stopper opposing member 4 having an elongation-side opposing member 6 and a contraction-side opposing member 7, and movable to the rod 1 in an axial direction; an elongation-side bush 10 and a contraction-side bush 11 which are movable to the stopper member 4 in the axial direction; a neutral restoration spring 5 for positioning the stopper opposing member 4 at a neutral position with respect to the rod 1; and an attachment part 9 for attaching the rod 1 or the stopper opposing member 4 to a damper.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】小地震でダンパが減衰力を発揮せず大地震ではダンパが減衰力を発揮する連結装置の提供。【解決手段】連結装置Ｊは、ロッド１に設けられた伸側ストッパ２と縮側ストッパ３と、伸側対向部材６と縮側対向部材７とを有して、ロッド１の軸方向への移動が可能なストッパ対向部材４と、ストッパ部材４に軸方向移動可能な伸側ブッシュ１０および縮側ブッシュ１１と、ストッパ対向部材４をロッド１に対して中立位置へ位置決める中立復帰ばね５と、ロッド１或いはストッパ対向部材４をダンパに取付ける取付部９とを備える。【選択図】図３
