They were originally referred to as Molex Pins or Molex IC Sockets.  As far as I know they aren't made any more.  A while ago All Electronics had something like a last-time buy on them and I picked up a couple hundred. There does look to still be a single replacement source on eBay that I found, but you have to want 500 of them and they aren't real cheap:
