Hans:

If you have pure Tin plated pins, electrically in contact with solder, this
is VERY prone to corrosion, as you will be getting galvanically (does that
word exist?) corrosion.  Tin is much more electropositive than solder, and
therefore will corrode readily when in contact with solder.

Does this help?
