Hi all,

I recall that about 15 years ago there existed a kind of ic socket that
was made of a spring contact placed inside a via of a PCB, protruding
only 0.1 mm on top, so if you didn't look real hard, there was no
difference to the IC soldered directly into the PCB. On the underside,
the contact protruded maximally one millimetre (in a 1.5 mm PCB).

Now the question: Anyone have a URL or brand name or manufacturer for
these thingies?
Or perhaps a similar product for holding the pins of a crystal with
minimal height requirement (soldering won't do...)?

Thanks!
