HEre is the link to Digi-key.

I sometimes use these ED5038 pin recepticles.

they are similar to DIP sockets. You can use DIP sockets and cut the
pins out and then break off the little end bits for a similar
socket. the neat thing is that they come in different sizes and you
can use them as quick sockets for caps or resistors.

They come in many different hole dimeters and lenghts but make sure
you get the holes that will fit the pins you want to use.

They can be soldered on top and bottom to make vias.
