Claim:
1. A computer usable program product comprising a computer readable storage device including computer usable code for increasing solder hole-fill in a Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA), the computer usable code comprising: computer usable code for causing, in the PCBA, a pin of a device to move in a first direction, the PCBA comprising a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and the device, the pin occupying a hole in the PCB, the hole being filled to a first distance by a solder material, the causing the pin to move resulting in drawing the solder material into the hole up to a second distance, wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance; and computer usable code for allowing the pin to move in a second direction, wherein the move in the second direction returns the pin to an initial position in the hole, and wherein the allowing the pin to move in the second direction keeps the solder material at a third distance, wherein the third distance is greater than the first distance in the hole.
