The coupling head housing has no construction details which apply to only one type of rail vehicle, while the construction details which do apply to rail vehicle type are provided in or on the end plate. A compensating element (6) is provided between the coupling head housing and end plate and has the cross sectional geometry of the end face (3) of the coupling head housing.
