An electrical connector for electrically connecting a chip module to a circuit board includes: a body, configured to upward support the chip module, where the body is provided with a plurality of accommodating holes; and multiple terminals, respectively accommodated in the accommodating holes correspondingly. Each of the terminals includes a flat plate portion along a vertical direction and a connecting portion connected to the flat plate portion. An elastic arm is formed by bending and extending from at least one end of the connecting portion so as to abut the chip module or the circuit board. When the chip module presses the terminal downward, a side edge of the elastic arm abuts the flat plate portion. The structure of an elastic arm can be simplified to reduce the processing difficulty thereof.
