Re: how to hold PCBs at right angles to each other?

Hi - I am working on a board where I will have three PCBs at right
angles to each other. Thus they'll have one common corner and three
shared edges. These boards need to be exactly at right angles to each
other, and they can't be allowed to move. Are there any premade
solutions for holding boards at right angles to each other? Surely
something like this exists?

Thanks!

I once mounted a PCB at right angles in the middle of another PCB by
using a routed slot in the base board, with the vertical board having
a couple of tight fitting pins going through the board near the bottom
edge so the vertical board rested on these pins which were then
soldered. Was used for a 3-axis accelerometer and worked well. This
was for a very small board though so warping was not a an issue.
