An sealed electrical connector includes a connector housing having a wire inlet portion, a connector position assurance holder portion, and an interface portion. An electrical terminal is located and electrically connected to an electrical wire inside an internal cavity that is located central inside the connector housing. The internal cavity extends into the interface portion. The electrical wire extends to outside the connector housing passing the wire inlet portion that is located between the internal cavity and the outside of the connector housing. The connector also includes a flexible sealing member that is configured to seal the internal cavity when the electrical connector is electrically connected to a mating counter connector and when a connector position assurance device is activated in the connector position assurance holder portion to mechanically lock the electrical connector to the counter connector. The flexible sealing member is made in one piece.
