I'm planning to use a Teensy 3.2 as a part of a PCB-based (i.e., not breadboard) project. The PCB will have other components in addition to the Teensy, and I'll be designing and assembling the PCB myself (Eagle+OSHPark).
I've designed/built several PCBs and am comfortable with SMT soldering. I've never needed to attach a second PCB to my own, however. I'm wondering if there's a SMT-style way to attach a Teensy to a PCB. I'd prefer this to mounting headers on the Teensy to convert it into a thru-hole component that I'd then need to solder/socket to the PCB.
Will it work it if I put SMT pads at each Teensy pin location and then solder the Teensy directly to the PCB? If so, do I need to avoid vias underneath the Teensy to prevent possible shorts? Would just biting the bullet soldering headers to the Teensy and sockets to the PCB be the more reliable approach?
Thanks for any help.
