If you were looking on the web, or on the McMaster website for a gizmo
that would hold two pieces of sheetmetal at right angles to each other,
with the side of one going right up to the face of another, what would
you call it?
'Bracket' not only implies a little piece of right-angle stock, but it
seems to get a hit on each one of the thousands of catalog pages in
McMaster, and about one in ten pages on the web.
I'm thinking of something that would be an alternative to the PEM
R'Angle fastener
(http://www.pemnet.com/fastening_products/pdf/radata.pdf); something
that lets you put the screw into the panel that's getting butted up to
instead of the panel doing the butting.
I've seen little rectilinear blocks with threaded holes, but better yet
would be a little plastic piece that goes into a hole in the panel that
butts up to the other panel, and engages a screw from the panel that
gets butted up to.
If you have links to manufacturer's or distributor's web sites that'd be
particularly nice.
TIA.

Not sure what they're called , but the last item you described is very
common on cheap consumer-assembled furniture . Stuff like bookcases and
computer desks . Checked with a furniture/cabinet hardware supplier ?

I'd call it a threaded mounting bracket;
http://www.keyelco.com/products/specs/spec37.asp
I generally buy some aluminum angle stock and put through holes in one
flange and tapped holes or Pem nuts in the other, or bend a flange on
the less visible panel.
Euro terminal blocks are a quick solution.

Please log in for more thread options I suggest you look at the hits you get that are NOT appropriate, pick
out the most appropriate key word and add it to the search criteria with
a minus sign in front of it. That way, any hits with that "minused"
word will be removed. Then you will have a smaller number of choices to
deal with. Keep adding minuses until you get to the stuff that
interests you. The search engine at the McMaster website may not be
that sophisticated, but you can do the same thing at google to get you
into the ball park.
A plus sign has the opposite effect, demanding to the search engine
any hit it displays MUST have the term so signed.
Another approach is to put your search criteria within quotation marks.
For instance, the word bracket gets you all the hits where the word
bracket is anywhere within the title of the hit or sometimes even the
description. simply adding the word angle doesn't help much because
the search engine now gives you all hits for BOTH bracket and angle.
But, putting in the term "angle bracket" (using the quotes) forces the
searech engine to look for that EXACT phrase (called a "literal") and
only hits that have it, appear.
Here's and example of a search you might end up using:
+"angle bracket" +threaded -"45 degrees" -plastic
There's more, if you are interested. If not, I hope this helps,
