Abstract: Fabrication of a reliable circuit board assembly with press-fit connectors is facilitated by identifying a press-fit-connector-to-circuit board connection of a circuit board assembly for testing, with one or more press-fit connector pins of the connector being press-fit into one or more corresponding plated through-holes of the circuit board at a first surface of the circuit board. An electrically insulative liquid is applied at a second surface of the circuit board to the corresponding plated through-hole(s) with the press-fit pin(s), where the second surface and the first surface are opposite surfaces of the circuit board. Connection of the press-fit pin(s) to the corresponding plated through-hole(s) is tested to identify a connection failure, where the electrically insulative liquid facilitates identifying the connection failure. A fabrication adjustment to the circuit board assembly can be identified and implemented to address the identified connection failure.
