1. An information handling system, comprising:
a primary printed circuit board (PCB) including a clip pin hole having an inner wall;
a secondary PCB removably coupled to the primary PCB, the secondary PCB including a clip pin having:
an open end;
a bulbous portion disposed proximate to the open end; and
a plurality of signal pins disposed within the bulbous portion, the plurality of signal pins configured to transmit a signal from the secondary PCB to the primary PCB; and
a backplate including a guide pin configured to removably couple to the clip pin via the open end, the guide pin causing the bulbous portion of the clip pin to apply an outward force on the inner wall of the clip pin hole, the outward force causing the plurality of signal pins to communicably couple to the inner wall to transmit the signal.
