The material you are looking for is called Garolite G-9. It may also be
called "phenolic/cloth laminates or phenolic/cotton sheets". It is brownish
in color. Easy to machine/cut and drill. Excellent insulating properties. We
use it all the time for test fixtures. McMaster-Carr sells it in sheets and
rods. The pogo sitcks are available through Newark and are made by
Interconnect Devices, Inc.(IDI). Do a search on their site as "interconnect
devices".
Good luck - Rick
