1. An electrical connector adapted for electrically connecting a chip module to a printed circuit board, comprising:
an insulative housing having an upper mounting surface, opposite lower connecting surface, and defining a plurality of contact-receiving passageways penetrating through said mounting and connecting surfaces thereof;
a plurality of contacts received in the contact-receiving passageways of the insulative housing adapted for electrically connecting with said chip module and the printed circuit board which respectively assembled to the mounting surface and the connecting surface of the insulative housing; and
a metal stiffener partially surrounding the insulative housing and comprising a flat board essentially downwardly directly and communicatively confronting the printed circuit board; and wherein
the insulative housing has a portion located below the metal stiffener and compressed by the metal stiffener to prevent the deformation of the insulative housing.
