A blast-hardened electrical connector for securing and maintaining electrical conductors in electrical contact. The device includes a housing having a chamber positioned near its mid portion. A plurality of conduits extend between the exterior of the housing and the chamber, each pair of conduits forming a passage within which an electrical conductor is slideably secured. Each passage passes through the chamber so that electrical conductors are brought into contact within the chamber. The chamber is configurated such that the conductors are maintained in electrical contact, even during conditions when the conductors are caused to slide axially within their respective passageways. The exterior of the connector and the conductor insulation adjacent to the exterior of the connector, are potted with an epoxy material to fix the position of insulation with respect to the connnector, and to increase structural integrity for the connector assembly.
