IO just did a search and looks like NewarkOne has it also
SN 62 is 2% silver, 37% lead, the rest is tin. It's NOT RoHS compatible and should not be used for new products, just rework and repairs. The newer formulas don't have lead, but more silver and some copper as well. Any of you have good experiences with any of this new stuff???
