The coupling member further includes a valve body at least partially extending in the housing. The valve body can have an internal fluid passage that is fluidly connected to the fluid connector, wherein the valve body further has a spherical interface that interfaces with at least one of the housing or another coupling member for enabling angular misalignment between the coupling member and the another coupling member.
