snap in
Attach with click
To snap in is to fit something into place with an audible click, securing it through interlocking parts rather than screws or adhesive: The battery cover snaps in easily.
The phrase describes assembly that requires alignment and pressure until components lock together.
Something that snaps in can usually snap out just as readily.
