An elevated electrical connector assembly for use with electric submersible pumps. The assembly is particularly useful for wells at elevated temperatures. The assembly has a removable tubular assembly housing, a removable lower electrical connector, a removable annular retainer member, a removable crossover sealing adapter, a removable upper electrical connector, and a removable locking member. The housing is connected to a wellhead member and extends out the top of the wellhead. The electrical connectors are in a part of the housing that is outside of the wellhead. By elevating the electrical connectors and their mutual junctions away from the hot wellhead, ambient air can provide sufficient cooling of the assembly to prevent connector failure due to high temperatures. A swivel part in the tubular assembly housing permits the connectors to be angled away from hot components in the flow path from the wellhead. A spark containment feature prevents inadvertent ignition of combustibles in the surrounding environment cause by spark generation when making or breaking electrical contact.
