Memo: Soldering is called “handa”.
In Japan, soldering is called handaduke.
It has the same name as the area where the hotel I stayed at this time is located.
Although they have the same sound, their uses are completely different.
I did a little research on soldering.
What is soldering?
Solder is an alloy whose main components are lead and tin.
It is used to join metals together, connect electronic circuits, and attach to printed circuit boards.
It is mainly used in industry, but it is also used for decoration.
It seems that this technology has been around for a long time.
As evidence of this, there are ancient ornaments that are decorated with solder.
The origin of the name “handa”
There seem to be various theories.
I will list a few of them.
・The name of a famous tin producing area (Panda Island in Malaysia, Handa Silver Mine in Fukushima Prefecture)
・Because the mixture ratio of tin and lead is about half and half
・A corrupted version of hand
・A corrupted version of the Chinese word hande
Summary
I’ve become a little smarter thanks to this opportunity.
I’m amazed that solder is an amazing technology and that it has continued to this day.
I’d like to look into it more in the future.
