An electrical connector assembly includes a terminal position assurance (TPA) system. The assembly includes a connector housing having at least one terminal-receiving cavity. A terminal is received in the cavity and is adapted for terminating an electrical wire which extends from the terminal to the exterior of the housing. A TPA device is mountable on the housing and is engageable with the terminal. The TPA device has a strain relief portion engageable with the electrical wire. The TPA device also has a wire routing portion engageable with the electrical wire.
