Abstract: In the case of a component which conducts high-pressure medium, comprising a first component (13) with at least one pressure duct (29) and a second component (2) with a pressure chamber (30), wherein an annular sealing surface (32), which surrounds the mouth(s) of the at least one pressure duct (29), of the first component (13) and an annular sealing surface (33), which surrounds the rim of the pressure chamber (30), of the second component (2) interact areally with one another to form a sealing point, wherein the cross-sectional area of the pressure duct (29) is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the pressure chamber (30), the pressure-induced radial expansion of the annular sealing surfaces (32, 33) is substantially equal.
