The present invention provides a truss system a horizontal chord, and a connector retained inside the channel of the horizontal chord. The connector has a base that has two parallel vertical walls, and a connecting base wall that together define a U-shaped cross-section, with a receiving space defined by the two parallel walls and the base wall. First and second dividers are positioned in the receiving space and define separate first, second and third spaces, respectively, with the second space positioned between the first and third spaces. Each of the first and second dividers has a vertical wall section that is connected to the two parallel walls and the base wall, with an angled surface associated with the upper end of each vertical wall section. A vertical web member has one end that is inserted into the second space, and a diagonal web member has one end inserted into either the first space or the third space.
