PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pipe connector used in mutually connecting pipes for discharging sewage thereby to interrupt malodor. SOLUTION: This pipe connector 10 capable of interrupting malodor includes an inflow pipe part 11 connected to an upstream pipe and forming an inflow channel for inflow of sewage from the upstream pipe, a discharge pipe part 12 connected to a downstream pipe and forming a discharge channel for discharging inflow sewage through the inflow channel, a trap part 13 forming a connecting channel including a trap section T forming a channel lower than the lowest point of adjacent channels having all cross section of the channel in contact with each other in the upstream and downstream between the inflow pipe part and the discharge pipe part, and guiding the sewage flowing in the inflow channel to the discharge channel, and a branch pipe part forming a branch passage extending upward in the trap section of the trap part and branching upward the channel in the trap section. In the thus constructed pipe connector, the sewage always filling the trap part spatially interrupts the gap between the inside of the pipe and the branch passage, thereby preventing malodor in the pipe from leaking out to the outside of the branch passage.
