The wedge connector for interconnecting first and second bare wires comprises axially mating sleeve and wedge members. The sleeve member is provided with an inner transversally extending first ear at the end of larger width. The wedge member is formed with an axially extending hollow section positioned to receive the first ear and provide room for axial displacement of the first ear about the wedge member as this wedge member axially moves within the sleeve member. The wedge member also comprises a second ear extending transversally of the axially extending hollow section at the end of larger width. The wedge connector further comprises first and second elongated and axially convergent wire-receiving receptacles formed in between the sleeve and wedge members. Finally a screw assembly extends between the first and second ears to force the wedge member in the sleeve member until the first and second bare wires are tightened in the first and second receptacles, respectively. This screw assembly comprises a bolt with a head and a threaded shank, a first axial threaded hole in the first ear and a second hole, substantially coaxial with the first hole, in the second ear. In operation, the threaded shank of the bold extends through the second hole and is screwed in the first threaded hole with the head of the bolt situated on the side of the second ear opposite to the first ear. The second hole can be oblong to provide for transversal adjustment of the position of the wedge member in the sleeve member.
