Abstract
A conductive terminal includes a fixing portion mechanically fixing and electrically connecting to a circuit board, a floating portion elastically connected to the fixing portion and capable of moving relative to the fixing portion, and an elastic clip connected to the floating portion and having a clamping portion clamping and electrically contacting a mating terminal inserted into the clamping portion. The floating portion is movable under a drive of the mating terminal when the mating terminal is inserted offset into the clamping portion to adjust the clamping portion to a position aligned with the mating terminal.
