Wedge connector with insulation perforating device, for connecting electrical conductors provided with an insulating covering, comprising:
- an external C-shaped member (2), determining two first curved wings (10), each having respective bottoms (12) which define mutually inclined longitudinal lines;
- a wedge member (6) having two mutually inclined concave active edges (14);
- and at least one intermediate member (4) comprising electrically conducting material and which is adapted to be located between said external member (2) and said wedge member (6), characterised in that said intermediate member (4) has a plurality of perforating teeth (22) and surrounds in part at least one portion of a conductor (20) disposed between said wedge member (6) and said intermediate member (4).
