I noticed inside a Malekko pedal they are using this small component...very smart way to connect the PCB ground to the enclosure, in case you are using Neutrik style jacks

can you help identify this component? where can I buy it?

those two lips are "springy" so they touch softly the chassis

Search for SMD contact.
I just sourced something similar from Mouser to facilitate adjustment of a small PCB making contact with a lower PCB.
This is for an adjustable LED/LDR/Vactrol test bed that I have in the works.

When I use non grounded jacks, I use a through hole battery spring contact for grounding the enclosure.

I just designed a new fuzz circuit! It almost sounds a little different than the last fifty fuzz circuits I designed! ;)

I would have never guessed, jeez!

Thanks google... not even Mouser sales people were able to help me!
