The invention relates to a coupling component for a fluid coupling (1) for releasably connecting fluid-conveying components, in particular fluid-conveying components in medical equipment, wherein the coupling component comprises a coupling housing (14) through which a fluid channel (17) passes in regions and which is provided with a coupling recess (7) that is sunken into a surface (15) of the coupling housing (14), wherein a channel opening (18) of the fluid channel (17) ends at an end face (19) of the coupling recess (7). According to the invention, it is provided that the channel opening (18) is covered by a membrane seal (4) which is made of a resilient material and through which a fluid gap passes (8) that is designed such that the membrane seal (4), when in a resting position, seals the channel opening (18) and, when in an operative position, opens the channel opening (18), wherein at least one yielding depression (29) is formed in the coupling recess (7) adjacently to the channel opening (18), which depression is designed for an yielding movement of a region (36, 37) of the membrane seal (4) when the membrane seal (4) transitions from the resting position into the operative position.
