Anyone can tell me what is this called? It some sort of PCB socket terminal soldered directly to the board. Is this a PCB eyelet or there's a proper term for this and where can i order? Many thanks for those who will answer..

I'm not sure if this is the same thing, but I've seen this type of connector

used for connecting battery compartments to PCBs without soldering. Sounds like the same idea, but I don't know if they will work for ICs.

Basically search for "PCB spring socket" and you will find many options.

Those are NOT just "eyelets". Those are machine-screw female IC pin sockets. They come in a pre-spaced strip for easy insertion into the PC board holes. Then after soldering, the carrier tape is stripped away.

Mill-Max are the most prolific manufacturer of these ,
Click on the data sheet link on the first hit here:

I've always called these "machined pin sockets" , but it seems "pin receptacle" is a more common name.
Most IC pins are equivalent to 20mil = 0.020" = 0.5mm diameter.

Here is a listing.

You can buy them with a "conventional" plastic holder or just a metal carrier. I like the low profile they provide. The plastic sockets can be purchased with built-in decoupling capacitors for logic chips.
To duplicate the assembly you show, you need to get the version with a metal carrier. The carrier is like a disposable IC with the pins on each leg. It keeps the bare pins aligned during soldering. Then remove the carrier and install the IC.

I think it is PCB pin socket. May you can find it from pcbshoppers, pcbway or even ebay.
