Here's my #electronics component of the week: In #8seg, I'm using these solderable standoffs to mechanically mount a board. They can be used with a standard reflow process. Their footprint requires about the same space as a normal screw head. With a properly dimensioned hole, the solder connection is plenty strong in both tension and torque and you can use them to pass a few amps of current between boards as well. In case you haven't used them before, I can recommend them. They're quite handy.
