In one embodiment, a clip pin of a secondary printed circuit board removably coupled to a primary printed circuit board and a backplate in an information handling system includes: an open end configured to receive a guide pin of the backplate within a clip pin hole of the primary printed circuit board, the guide pin configured to removably couple to the clip pin via the open end; a bulbous portion disposed proximate to the open end, the guide pin causing the bulbous portion to apply an outward force on an inner wall of the clip pin hole; and a plurality of signal pins disposed within the bulbous portion, the outward force causing the plurality of signal pins to communicably couple to the inner wall to transmit a signal from the secondary printed circuit board to the primary printed circuit board.

An Insulation Displacement Contact Compliant connector system (IDCC) which includes a housing, header pins, and a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Each header pin has at least a single barb to be retained into the housing. Each pin has a blade for contacting a wire. A compliant feature on the pin retains itself into holes in the PCB. The housing has a negative space similarly shaped to the pin. The housing includes a strain relief which provides a lead-in for a wire. When the system is fully assembled, the pins reside in the housing, and exit through the housing and into and through respective holes in the PCB. A wire can be inserted into the housing once the pins reside in the housing. There are several options for the assembly process including a) a pin-to-housing insertion process; b) a housing assembly-to-PCB process or a connector-to-PCB process; and c) a wired housing assembly-to-PCB assembly process or a wire harness-to-PCB assembly process.

A backplane connector includes a housing, a number of terminal modules assembled to the housing, and a metal shield surrounding member. The housing includes a base, a first side wall and a second side wall.
