1. A plug connector for transmitting high-frequency signals, the plug connector comprising:
an inner-conductor contact, an outer-conductor contact, and an insulator, which is arranged between the inner-conductor contact and the outer-conductor contact;
a receptacle, which is formed by the outer-conductor contact and is configured to receive a mating plug connector to establish a connection between the plug connector and the mating plug connector; and
a catch basket, which is arranged in the receptacle and is configured to produce contacting between the outer-conductor contact and the mating plug connector in a connected state of the plug connector and the mating plug connector,
wherein the catch basket comprises a main body and at least one spring element having a first and a second free end, and
wherein the at least one spring element is connected to the main body by torsion bridges such that the at least one spring element is configured to tilt when the plug connector and mating plug connector are being connected, and such that the first and the second free end are configured to press against the mating plug connector.
