One thing you can try, is that since you have to return the jigs anyway to
the beginning of the wave solder process, you might want to use a conveyor
with fans on top so that the fans will cool off the pallets as they go
through the conveyor.

Subject: Wave soldeing jig thickness

Hello,

Has anyone experienced problems with running boards through wave
soldering in a pallet with deep machined pockets?

My jigs are quite thick (~0.5") in order to mask off the high filter
components on the solder side. As a result the jigs get very hot after
soldering and takes long time to cool down to be feed back to the cycle.
It also affects my profiling, throughput, and seems to create more dross
than usual.

Any comment or advice?

Rgds,
Peter
