I bought a pair of Cardas GRFA (http://www.partsconnexion.com/catalog/connectors.html) for a project.
The signal wire is easy to solder. BUT I'm having a hard time soldering the ground wire.
If you look at the PCX website, it contains a photo of the connector. I'm trying to solder it to the "groove". I tried 63/37 solder and silver-content solder.
any tips?
thank you.

I have a temp-controlled station. I have set it to around 450 degrees Celcius and still no luck.
Try dismounting the RCA jack if mounted already so that there is less heatsinking. The ground portion is indeed bulky but can be heated if isolated. You'll have to finagle with wires and mounting gear perhaps already being in place before soldering. Just evaluate your setup accordingly. I used a set of helping hands to do mine and a 800 degree F tip.
