A male element of a fluidic coupling intended to be coupled with a female element. The male element includes a ring, defining an annular space and in which ring radial housings are formed. Locking balls are received in the radial housings and are able to move radially between an inward position and an outward position. The balls are retained within their respective radial housings by narrowings having inner and outer projections provided where each respective radial housing meets the inner and outer faces of the ring. The ring has a first part and a second annular part, which parts are secured to one another. Longitudinal slots are provided in one of either the first or second parts of the ring.
