Can a small PCB be used as a SMD?

Thanks guys...

Good to hear.  I'll consider pursuing this approach.  :-+

Yeah, I was trying to avoid castellated holes, just to keep the price of the adapter boards down.  Afterall, at some point (pretty quickly in fact) it'll end up cheaper just swallowing the cost of a redoing the main board...

Very interesting find.  :-+  That looks like the same connector I found.  I'm pretty sure it's meant to mounted through-hole vertically, but they's slipped the pins over the edge of a PCB.  I had wondered if that would be possible, apparently it will be.  That approach would make for a very decent, compact, little adapter board.  Mounting it through-hole would have ended up with a right-angle adapter, which for some reason I wasn't liking...  If the parts I ordered get here in any kind of reasonable timeframe I may go with this approach instead (although the idea of trying the SMD PCB is still intriguing to me.
