It is an object of the present invention to provide a connector for truss having a high shearing resistance and a superior safety in which the connector can be inserted into and fixed in advance to the abutted surfaces of the structural members to be connected, adjustment of orientation of the connector is not needed, workability and installing workability can be remarkably improved and further the inserted and fixed connector can be prevented from being pulled when the connector is connected to the structural member. The connector of the present invention includes the flat-plate like connecting plate 2, a hollow tubular member 3 having one end fixed to each of both surfaces of the connecting plate 2 and opened at the other end, a branch pipe engage part 7 communicated from a side of the tubular member 3 facing to the connecting plate up to the hollow part, a hollow branch pipe 8 having the engage part 9 removably engaged with the branch pipe engage part 7 formed at at least one end thereof, and a fixing hole 12 formed at a predetermined part of the connecting plate 2.
