One of our customers needs assurance that we will not damage a particular
component during hand soldering.  I've taken some temperature measurements,
now I need to know the melting point of the solder seal around the terminal.
The alloy is 20% tin, 77% lead, 3% silver - not very common, not in any of
the specs or handbooks or websites where I've looked.  Anyone know where I
can find the solidus/liquidus?  Can I assume that it's similar to Sn20?
