I use something similar made by Mill-Max . They are simply called IC pins and printed circuit pins. I use them to make mini dips from SMD components for use on the breadboard, Not inserting an IC pin into them, (which they are made for) but soldering the ring on the underside of a PTH So instead of the point sticking in the pcb - it sticks off the bottom.
Mouser page 803-804 and 830
. Prices are not bad if purchased in qty. Beats wasted time tearing up a ic socket IMO.

I used to use those. They are made by Molex and should still be available.
One "kit vendor" I used to use during my infancy referred to these as "flea
clips". I do NOT know if this was Molex's name for them, or only THEIR
nick-name. Yeah, they are good for the odd application, but TINNED BRASS? Oh, it's
OK for prototypes, etc., but don't expect 7 out of 10 to retain good contact
with all-16 or 24 IC-pins, etc., for a decade!
