Do solder-mount screws exist?

I have a small circuit board that has no mounting holes but does provide unpopulated test point pads. Is there any option for machine screws or standoffs that I could solder into these for mounting the board?

Surface mount, and reflow solderable stand-offs are available, for low mechanical stress applications.

For example, some SMT products offer spacers, nuts, and snap fasteners in a range of sizes. These do not require plated through holes. The parts come in the reel with removable Kapton patches on top, covering the holes, for vacuum pick-up, so they can be used for pick-and-place assembly as well.

What Others Are Asking

Does each process have its own PCB or there is just one?

To my understanding, each process in the operating system contains its own separate Process Control Block. Can someone explain this to me. Does each process have its own PCB or is there just one PCB that contains all the information for all the processes?

How fast can through hole PCBs run?

I’m trying to rate the speed of my pathetic attempts at electronics. So sticking specifically to through hole construction with DIP packages. A soldered PCB like mine can operate at 5MHz. Mine is slower. Why?
