I want to mount a circuit board to another at a right angle. I'm looking for pins that can handle 20 amps. Board one has the right angle pins (soldered to board). Board two has holes for the pins and they get soldered to the board. Any suggestions as to who might have these?
 
If anyone does, I imagine AMP/Tyco would...

Bare #14 or #16 wire. Cut and bend?
yours
 
I agree with waross if you plan to solder them anyway just use solid 14 or 16 wire. Or do you only mean solder the ends of connectors?

Wire would work. It's a production item though and it would be nice if there was a nylon or polyester restraint holding the pins and keeping each aligned with the other (like a bigger version of a right angle square post header).
 
Thanks guys - both connectpositronic and samtec have the high current pins I'm looking for.
