[0039] Refer to Figures 2 to 4, the floating end 20 includes a floating terminal 21, a floating sleeve 22 and a fixing bolt 23. A stop block is provided at the first end of the floating terminal 21 and is clamped and fixed to the fixed end 10.

The floating sleeve 22 moves as the limiting member 221 moves in the limiting groove 212. The outer wall of the floating sleeve 22 contacts the clamping mechanism 211. The clamping mechanism 211 elastically presses the outer wall of the floating sleeve 22 inward to clamp the floating sleeve 22 in the receiving cavity.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 , the fixing bolt 23 fixes the client PCB board to the end of the second end of the floating sleeve 22. The client PCB board moves as the relative sliding between the floating sleeve 22 and the floating terminal 21, so as to adjust the distance between the client PCB board and the client mounting panel.

[0041] In one embodiment, reference Figures 2 to 4 , the limiting groove 212 is a strip-shaped groove arranged along the axial direction of the floating terminal 21, and the limiting groove 212 includes at least 2. The limiting grooves 212 are circumferentially and uniformly arranged on the side wall of the receiving cavity of the floating terminal 21.
