I design a device that must connect to the docking station which has spring loaded pins. I'm looking for gold plated contact for the device side (sample shown on the picture), so these contact pads would be exposed through the plastic case.
Any idea what name I should be searching for these kind of contacts under from suppliers? I've been searching for multiple hours for "gold plated contact blocks", but haven't found yet.

Short Answer: test point
More details: Digikey have a dedicated test point section on their website. This covers all kinds of test points ranging from SMD to THT and tiny to XL.
One of my boards is using gold plated test points similar to these on your picture: HK-3-G-T from Manufacturer Mac8 (my BOM said Asianmicro though, this might be their previos name. Just speculation)
