### <a id="connectableobservableprototypeconnect"></a>`ConnectableObservable.prototype.connect()`
<a href="#connectableobservableprototypeconnect">#</a> [&#x24C8;](https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/RxJS/blob/master/dist/rx.binding.js#L504 "View in source")
 
Connects the observable wrapper to its source. All subscribed observers will receive values from the underlying observable sequence as long as the connection is established.
 
#### Returns
*(Disposable)*: Disposable object used to disconnect the observable wrapper from its source, causing subscribed observer to stop receiving values from the underlying observable sequence.
 
#### Example
```js
var interval = Rx.Observable.interval(1000);
 
var source = interval
    .take(2)
    .do(function (x) {
        console.log('Side effect');
    });
 
var published = source.publish();
 
published.subscribe(createObserver('SourceA'));
published.subscribe(createObserver('SourceB'));
 
// Connect the source
var connection = published.connect();
 
function createObserver(tag) {
    return Rx.Observer.create(
        function (x) {
            console.log('Next: ' + tag + x);
        },
        function (err) {
            console.log('Error: ' + err);
        },
        function () {
            console.log('Completed');
        });
}
 
// => Side effect
// => Next: SourceA0
// => Next: SourceB0
// => Side effect
// => Next: SourceA1
// => Next: SourceB1
// => Completed
// => Completed
```
