Where can I get jacks/connectors like this?

The other day my bedside clock crapped out, so naturally I decided to crack it open and look inside. Inside I saw these little connector things:

(I'm talking about the little white connectors, as well as the one that still has wires attached to it)

Now I know I have seen these before so that can't be all that uncommon... does anybody know where I might be able to find something like these for my small scale hobby projects?? I've looked across ebay with no success unfortunately. To be honest, it really doesn't need to be exactly like that. All that I am really looking for is a connector with prongs that can easily be inserted into a through-hole circuit board.

If anybody knows where I might find something like this, please let me know.

Thanks!

hello, i have seen those things at a hardware shop near my place have you tried that? also i normally see those things from other devices such as the lipo battery head. just an advice, do you need the connectors? can you just solder it straight to the board?

No, I haven't tried a hardware store. I guess I wouldn't have thought to look there. Personally I would prefer to buy online if possible, but if I have no luck elsewhere I'll give the hardware store a shot.

Also to answer your last question, I'm looking for a matching set so that it can be easily removed and reconnected.

hello again, is this what you are looking for?

Dipmicro sells headers like these. You can buy just the male or female varieties for a given number of pins, or this starter bag: Straight Wafer Header Male/Female 3,4,5,6,8,10-pin PCB to Wire 6 Types 10/ea - dipmicro electronics

Pololu sells a different version of this: Pololu - Crimp Connector Housings

Sparkfun sells various JST connectors: Search Results for jst connector - SparkFun Electronics

If you are still messing around, another alternative is connector blocks, which allow you to insert a hookup wire to the spring clamp. Pololu sells these in various sizes (you want the ones with 0.1" pitch to fit in a standard breadboard). Adafruit and Sparkfun also sells these. http://www.pololu.com/catalog/category/117
