A grounding connector (10) for interconnecting a pair of uninsulated conductors (12,14) such as wires includes an outer body member (20) having diverging tabs (28) extending from upper extents of walls of a U-shaped channel (22), the tabs being crimpable toward each other when applied to the wires. An inner body member (50) includes a base section (52) crossing the top of the channel and diverging inner tabs (54) extending along the inside surfaces of the outer body member (20) to assured stops (34) at the ends of the outer tabs (28). When the outer tabs (28) are crimped to a vertical orientation, the inner tabs (54) are also crimped to a vertical orientation and urge the base section (52) against the wires in the channel (22). The inner body member (50) presses the wires against upper and lower surfaces of a conductive insert (70) so that arrays of penetrating spikes (88) along the insert surfaces break through corrosion of the wires (12,14) and assuredly electrically interconnect the wires. The insert (70,322) is shaped to accommodate interconnecting a pair of flat wires (12), a pair of round wires (14), or one of each, or a wire and a rod or pipe.
