By rotating the first link 6, the telescopic component 23, the second link 7, the first connecting plate 9, the second connecting plate 10, and the clamping component 3 will rotate, thereby selecting the angle of the clamped circuit board 27, so as to meet the clamping or angle adjustment needs of the circuit board 27 for processing or maintenance. After the angle selection is completed, the first link 6 will be reset by the action of the second spring or external force by releasing or pushing the first link 6, so that the first protrusion structure 12 of the first link 6 is connected to the first through hole 11 to locate the angle.
