1. A high-frequency test connector device (12; 12′) for severable, high-frequency contact-establishing and function-testing interaction with a connection partner (16; 16′) in the form of a coaxial high-frequency connector module, having a sleeve portion (14; 14′) on the outside relative to an inner conductor portion (22), the device (12; 12′) comprising
an at least partially sleeve-like adapter housing for being joined with the connection partner manually or by machine along a longitudinal axis of movement and connection,
the adapter housing having a sleeve-like ground contact portion (10; 10′) on one axial end for engaging over the sleeve portion of the connection partner in a centering and sliding manner to establish ground contact with the connection partner,
means for establishing external high-frequency signal contact (18), on the other end,
and, centrically in the ground contact portion, an inner contact (20) guided coaxially to the axis of movement and connection, wherein
the ground contact portion has electrically conducting spring means (26; 26′, 28; 42, 44; 44′, 46) for establishing ground contact which are assigned in such a manner that for the engagement over the sleeve portion (14) of the connection partner (16), an end-side face (30) of the latter can engage onto the spring means (26), which are formed in a sleeve bottom of the ground contact portion (10), in a contact-establishing manner and in a spring-loaded manner along the axis of movement and connection; and
wherein the spring means are realized as a plurality of individual spring pins (28), each spring pin (28) being able to establish ground contact with the connection partner by being spring-loaded along a pin spring axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of movement and connection.
