A wire connector for simultaneously connecting a plurality of insulated conductors, without stripping or twisting the conductors, and which conductors may be of the same or a different wire gauge. There is a housing which has a plurality of openings for the insertion of insulated conductors. A plurality of wire guides are positioned within the housing and extend transverse to insulated conductors positioned within the housing for connection. Each wire guide has openings in alignment with the housing openings, with the openings in each wire guide being of the same size, but with the openings in successive wire guides decreasing in size with the wire guide with the smallest openings being furthest from the housing openings. The wire guides function as a positive stop, limiting the insertion of the insulated conductors in accordance with the size of the conductors. A conductive indentor having a plurality of insulation piercing projections extends between the wire guides for penetrating the conductor insulation to interconnect conductors positioned in the wire guide openings.
