Architecting and designing : UML 2.5 : Relationships : Connector
  
Connector
A Connector specifies links that enable communication between two or more instances. This is in contrast to Associations, which specify that any instance of associated Classifiers can have a connection.
To create a Connection relationship between two Properties, perform these steps:
1 Create a ConnectorNode.
This graphic is described in the surrounding text.
2 Create a ConnectorProperty to Connector relationship between a Property and the ConnectorNode. When the relationship to the ConnectorNode symbol is created, the ConnectorNode symbol is turned invisible.
3 Create a Connector to ConnectableElement relationship line between the ConnectorNode and a Property. The definition of this line is a ConnectorEnd.
