An electrical connector (1) for receiving an electrical card (2) therein. The connector includes an insulative housing (11), and a plurality of conductive terminals (18) received in the housing. The housing includes a beam (12), and a pair of parallel guiding arms (13) extending in a same direction from opposite ends of the beam respectively. A reinforcing plate (16) interconnects the guiding arms to prevent the guiding arms from bending inwardly when the connector becomes heated during use. A middle portion (162) of the reinforcing plate is offset outwardly from the housing. When the connector becomes heated during use, the reinforcing plate bends inwardly. However, space beneath the reinforcing plate is still sufficient to ensure that the reinforcing plate does not contact the received electrical card, and that the electrical card can be freely inserted into or removed from the connector.
