1. A housing component for a plug connector, in particular an end cap for a plug connector housing, comprising:
a cable-side axial portion and a plug-side axial portion adjoining the cable-side portion along a longitudinal axis, the cable-side portion having a cable bushing for a cable running along the longitudinal axis;
at least one fluid channel formed in the cable bushing and open towards the cable, in order to conduct away a fluid which has penetrated between the cable bushing and the cable in a defined manner into the plug-side portion, the fluid channel winding through the cable bushing at least in portions along the longitudinal axis, and at least one outlet opening being formed in the plug-side portion in order to discharge the fluid from the housing component transversely to the longitudinal axis (L);
wherein the plug-side portion has, at least in some regions, at least one outer wall running around the longitudinal axis in order to delimit, at least in some regions, a cavity, the at least one fluid channel opening out into the cavity; and
wherein the at least one outlet opening is formed in the at least one outer wall and/or between a plurality of said outer walls.
