The LGA connector comprises an insulative housing () having a plurality of electrical terminals () received therein, a reinforcement plate () surrounding the insulative housing, a load plate () and a lever () pivotally connected to a same end of the reinforcement plate. The load plate and the lever rotate with respect to the reinforcement plate between an open position and a closed position; and the lever pushes the load plate to move from a middle position to the closed position during the lever rotates from the opening position to the closed position such that a free end of the load plate engages with the reinforcement plate.
