A couple go Germans wrote in a German forum they had no problem soldering a wire to the frog. I ruined one switch due to overheat and got lousy soldering on another one.
I stopped soldering after that experience and use a small brass screw (about M1.3) and a nut only. Soldering the wire to the end of the screw is easy of course.
