Can you identify the name of this part?
(OP)
I need to source the thin brass terminal strip inside a power strip. Can't for the life of me get it to pop up on any search. Does anyone know the name and better a supplier?

Your search may be difficult. There's probably an unknown little factory in China somewhere cranking out half the world's supply of the brass terminal strip thingies used inside power strips. Good luck.

Does anyone know what those brass strips are called? Better photo attached.

The world's markets are full of power plug adapters that would allow unsafe connections. Also, there are locations that use "North American 120Vac" style 2-pin receptacles for 240 volts AC; e.g. Philippines. Your warning is correct, but Susie Homemaker is already injured or worse 20 times over, if she travels much. Apparently we (humans) are past the point where such perfectly reasonable and rational safety concerns are accepted as 'show stopper' objections. To be clear, it's a fair warning, but we're way past it.
Speaking personally, when we travel, I carefully purge the gadget collection of anything that is not a Universal input (100-240 Vac, 50/60 Hz). Had to reject a Nintendo DS adapter once.

The phrase "电插座金属" (Electrical socket metal) seems to work.
Drop this into Google Images and then scroll down a bit. You'll soon see some bent brass metal thingies. Follow the links.
Good luck.

Typically though the company designing the power strip will design their own internal components and have it stamped out for their own use and will not likely sell it to anyone else.

Here's one Google image leading to link that caught my eye:

Of course the ones on exhibit on that page might not be precisely what you want, but they're obviously in that market segment.
Maybe you can wrangle a week or two in China (business trip)?
