An electrical connector for electrically connecting a chip module to a circuit board includes an insulating body having stopping portions, terminals and solder balls. Each stopping portion is located above the solder balls, and has a bottom surface coated with an adhesive. Each terminal includes a connecting portion and two clamping portions extending and bending from two opposite sides of the connecting portion along a horizontal direction. The solder balls are in contact with the terminals and the circuit board, and each corresponds to one of the stopping portions, is adhered to the stopping portion via the adhesive, and is clamped by the two clamping portions and the connecting portion, or by the two clamping portions and the insulating body.
