An electrical connector for electrically connecting a CPU with a PCB includes a frame, a plurality of base units assembled onto the frame and a plurality of contacts retained in the base units. The base units extend in a longitudinal direction and are assembled side by side in a transverse direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. Each of the base units includes an insulating housing and a shielding member embedded within the insulating housing. The shielding member includes a first portion extending in the longitudinal direction and multiple second portions extending in a direction intersecting with the longitudinal direction, the second portions together with the first portion define multiple chambers. The contacts are located in the chambers defined by the shielding member.
