An electrical connector includes an elongated insulative housing and a plurality of terminals retained in the housing. The housing defines a mating face, a rear wall opposite to the mating face, two slots opening to the mating face and arranged side by side. A plurality of terminals are secured in the insulative housing. Each terminal defines a contact portion exposing to the corresponding slot. A latch integrally extends from the rear wall forwardly and is located between the two slots, the latch has two arms separated by a groove thereby providing resiliency.
