The utility model discloses a female fluid coupling element and a fluid coupling. The fluid coupling includes a female fluid coupling element and a complementary male fluid coupling element. A female body of the female fluid coupling element includes a distal body and a proximal body. The latch moves laterally in the distal body between a locked position and an unlocked position. The latch has a rearward axial locking surface configured to prevent the complementary male fluid coupling element from moving out of the female body. When the distal body and the proximal body are in the assembled configuration, the elastically deformable barrier is partially received in the outer recess of the distal body and the inner recess of the proximal body, preventing separation of the distal body from the proximal body. The spring of the latch is located entirely on one side of the longitudinal median plane and the outer actuation surface of the latch is located entirely on the other side of the longitudinal median plane. The maximum longitudinal dimension of the spring is smaller than the maximum longitudinal dimension of the transverse shell. The present application provides a reliable female fluid coupling element that is radially and longitudinally compact.
