Get away from the right angle connectors if you can. It is much easier to
route and mount standard solder cup connectors with the board in between the
rows, and one row on top and one on bottom, and simply solder straight to the
board. Eagle has layouts for this, look at M25D for an example. If you can use
it it's much easier than the other DB-25 layouts.
