For direct solder to a audio plug cable with a pigtail I used the tip and ring leads; red and white. I just cut the black sleeve wire flush and insulated the end with hot glue while squirting some around the switch leads to insulate then covered with heat shrink tubing. (The colors can vary with china made cables so verify which are tip and ring with a multi-meter.)
For use with the solder on plug connector tips I use the center tip connector for the stiff post lead (which is also in the center of the switch), and the short ring lead for the thinner coil lead. The longer sleeve connector makes for a clamp to hold the switch body with a little bending of the end then gentle squeeze with some crimp pliers. I trim the leads short enough to fit the switch body inside the plastic cover then fill the gaps with hot glue to insulate and hold it all in place after soldering.
I have 3 and 6 foot male to female audio extender cables I use these plug modules with.
