An improved insulation piercing contact and connector is disclosed which contact strips the insulation from at least two sides of a conductor when making the insulation piercing contact. The subject contact includes a cylindrical member having a sharp annular edge and a pin member of wedge shaped configuration with at least one transverse step formed in the inclined surface of the pin. A conductor inserted into the cylindrical member is pinched between the cylindrical wall and the pin member with the insulation being stripped from the conductor by the annular edge of the cylindrical member and the step in the pin member.
