In a connecting device for a switch actuator and/or a lock for movable parts of a railway switch or crossing, including a rod assembly, in particular a sliding rod or a locking rod articulately connected with the movable part, the movable part or the rod assembly, in particular the switch tongue (2), is rigidly connected with a strap (4) engaging from behind a pin (5) connected with the rod assembly or the movable part for transmitting tensile forces. Between the rod assembly and the strap (4) or the movable part is arranged at least one elastic compression element, which is compressible by the rod assembly in the abutment position of the movable part on a rigid rail part, the strap (4) being displaceable out of abutment on the pin (5).
