Hi Kirk, For the simple board sandwich you're describing, all you need is "stackable headers". They're on Ebay, (I added "connectors" to the search term, for good luck), but they have to be on Mouser and Digikey. Most of the prices I saw on Ebay were too high - I wouldn't pay that much - ah, 20 off 8 pin for $5, that's more like it. This one's a bit dearer, but from HK, not the mainland, so might be a better investment: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/10-Pin-Stackable-Header-20-PCS-For-Arduino-R3-/320989215241?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item4abc72ba09 Stackable headers are what's used e.g. between an Arduino and its "shield". (I have one within arms reach. With four of them around its edges, you have to take a bit of care when pulling them apart - at least just as they separate.) All that holds the boards together is the friction of the pins, and you can chuck the assembly across the room without them separating. With stackable headers, you can go for a three or four layer sandwich, if desired. (Either with one column forming a vertical bus, or with quite separate interconnections at some layers, offset from those below.) The automated test equipment probes are, as already mentioned, for production testing of manufactured circuit boards. I wouldn't use them for this purpose.
