What are the brass contacts inside domestic AC power plugs and sockets called

plugsocketterminal

I've been hunting high and low across the internet, but I haven't had any luck so far.

What I need:

Brass terminals/contacts that can be soldered on a PCB and will receive electrical plugs. I want it to be able to receive plugs of all standards. What I'm looking for are terminals like these, but PCB mounted:enter image description here

I can't find them anywhere, and I don't even know what to search for.

Edit:

I am looking for contacts that can be soldered onto PCBs, not complete housings. I need to produce a couple hundred of these PCBs, and the PCB must interface with the electrical plug directly.

AC plugs can be used with adapters. The adapters allow a UK style plug to fit in a US wall socket or a French wall socket and vice versa. You normally see them for sale at airports.

So, get yourself a bunch of adapters to suit the wall socket of your choice then buy a wall socket that is compatible with being soldered to a PCB. If it needs to be a regular wall socket on a flying lead then is this going to be a problem?

Maybe get one of these: -
