Many of our CMs like to use Sn62 on ENIG finished PCBs. They report better wetting and better looking solder joints. The Ag in the alloy also helps minimize any silver leaching out of certain components. Lately however, they are reporting that this alloy is more costly to obtain with larger minimum buys.
