A sealed electrical connector includes a housing having a mating end and a wire receiving end. The wire receiving end is configured to receive a terminal joined to a wire. A cover is provided on the wire receiving end of the housing. The cover includes a terminal position assurance (TPA) element that extends from the cover through the wire receiving end and into the housing. The TPA engages the housing to prevent movement of the cover to a closed position until the terminal is fully loaded through the wire receiving end of the housing. The connector also includes a seal held between the housing and cover to seal the terminal receiving end when the cover is in the closed position. The connector further includes a terminal retention device to retain a terminal contact when the contact is fully loaded in the connector.
