Mount PCBs together in a 90° angle

<< < (4/5) > >>

SL4P:
Simple trick from the old days.
prepare the two boards (with 90-degree support if needed)
solder the 90-degree meeting point as shown

This is quite a common technique for mounting (small) boards at right angles.

I have worked on test instruments that used this construction method.  Invariably one of the solder joints will have a crack.

They make right angle pin headers which are perfect for this.

DomesticHacks:
I will go with SL4Ps method, since it is easier to manufacture. When there will be problems with cracked solder joints I will try something else.

DomesticHacks:
Doesn't that look very nice?  ^-^

Vgkid:
That looks ood, what is it?
