Abstract
A circuit board assembly includes a motherboard defining a motherboard plane, and a daughter board defining a daughter board plane which is substantially parallel to the motherboard plane. The motherboard and the daughter board electrically connect to each other through a set of circuit board connectors. The circuit board assembly further includes a set of edge clips. Each edge clip extends outwardly from the daughter board along the daughter board plane and is configured to operate as a mounting platform through which to physically secure the daughter board to the motherboard.
