Electronic – Through board connector

connectorthrough-hole

I'm looking for a connector. Ideally it would be a one pin connector mounted on the back side of a board and the pin would come through the board into connector.

Here's an illustration:

Does such a thing exist? And if so what's its name and where can I buy one (or actually about a hundred).

If you don't need the connectors to be 100% flush with the board surface, have a look at the PCB socket range by Harwin.

There's also a range produced by Mill-Max, but I've not had experience with them. I believe Digikey is their main distributor.

Note that theMill-Max sockets are meant to be pressed in, while Harwin sockets are soldered.
