The invention provides a connecting device suitable for an outboard exposed loader of a spacecraft. The device comprises a loader installing port and a loader locking and pointing assembly; the loader installing port is composed of a ball body structure and a loader installing structure and is integrally designed; the loader installing structure is used for fixing the exposed loader; and the loader locking and pointing assembly utilizes a pretightening fixing method to fix the ball body structure. The loader locking and pointing assembly comprises a handle A, a guiding and riving pin A, an anti-loose device, a clamping ring, a shell A, a spring a, a ball body safe blocking plate, a ball body safe blocking plate limiting block, a driven friction cup, a limiting block driving spring, a lead screw A, a lead screw A blocking ring, a driving friction cup, a disk spring and an end cover. The anti-loose device comprises an anti-loose device shell, an anti-loose spring, an anti-loose ball and a lead screw B blocking ring. The connecting device can achieve guided installation, reliable fixing, accurate pointing and overload protection of the exposed loader and accordingly provides technical support for quickly installing the exposed loader at the outboard set position.
