1mm pins -- through-hole or SMT?

The company I work for will not be going to SMT until 2008, believe it or not. In trying to track down a through-hole version of an SO-DIMM-200 connector, I found one at
[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.adexelec.com/connectors.htm[/url]

called "CONN-DDR-SOD-200-STD" with the description "DDR SO DIMM, 200 pins, through hole". However, I requested the data sheet, which you can view here:

and it says that the pins are only 1mm long. Since most PCBs are at least 1.6mm, how does this work? Are these parts really intended for some kind of hybrid SMT/through-hole process whereby the short pins allow for reflow soldering? Can these parts be used in a pure through-hole process?
 
I heard back from adexelec.com -- the part was mislabeled as through-hole. It's really surface mount.
