Sn62 solder contains 2% silver.  Have folks experienced any issues using 
SnPb solder with this much silver?  The historical QQ-S-571E solder spec 
indicated that using Ag2.5 solder can result in corrosion issues in a humid 
environment but I am not aware of any issues using Sn62 solder.  My 
understanding is that using 2% silver helps when soldering to ceramic parts 
having palladium/silver finish.
