How can I connect my small PCB with sensor to the bigger PCB?

My small PCB is mounting a very sensitive fragile sensor on the top surface that has to be wire bonded to the PCB, so I am trying to design a smaller PCB that can be surface mounted to the bigger PCB. How can I get some kind of thin footprint for interconnecting the two PCB boards?

You can just put plated half holes on the edge of the small board and then solder it directly to the large board. This skips having a connector all-together. Many board manufacturers can do this.

What Others Are Asking

I would like some boards on a panel to have different parts assembled while others are not assembled. How can I place this order?

We would like to assembly the smart chip by ourselves because and then ensure the wifi pairing. Any cautions when we place the order to factory to assembly extra part?

What’s the minimum distance from TQFP to chip cap on PCB assembly?

I want to put decoupling caps (0603) as close as possible to TQFP-48-7×7. So PCB/assembly wise how close I can put them (pad to pad, component to component)?
Does the ‘court yard’ need to be exactly square, or is it ok to place mentioned caps closer to TQFP in the corners where the TQFP pins leave kind of ‘free space’?

How long should it take to charge for new watches?

I bought 20 watches samples from a PCBA factory and plan to do some test on them. However, there is no power in its original state. How long should it take to charge for the watches in its original state?
