An electrical connector ( 1 ) for electrically connecting an electronic package with a circuit substrate. The connector includes a housing ( 11 ), a fastening device assembled with the housing, and a stiffener ( 12 ) surrounding the housing. The stiffener includes a back end ( 123 ), and a pair of spaced first walls ( 125 ) adjoining the back end. Each first wall has a latch ( 128 ) extending upwardly therefrom, and then bends inwardly. The back end has a pair of spaced spring fingers ( 129 ) extending substantially horizontally, and then bends slightly upwardly. The latches are fastened to the housing for locating the housing in a vertical direction. The spring fingers abut against the housing for locating the housing in a horizontal direction. The stiffener reinforces the housing, and protects the housing from deformnation or warpage.
