Abstract

The claimed invention relates to a fuel cell (1) comprising at least one fuel cell stack (4) constituted from a plurality of unit cells (2), a cell monitor terminal (21), and a cell monitor connector (5) that is connected to the cell monitor terminal (21), wherein the fuel cell stack (4) is fastened at a specified dimension, the cell monitor terminal (21) is formed in a surface of a separator (20) that constitutes the cell of the fuel cell, and the cell monitor connector (5) has plural poles (51). As a preferred embodiment a female housing (22) for the cell monitor connector (5) is constituted from a pair of separators (20, 20) and a sealing member (13) disposed between said separators. The invention results in an improved structure for connecting a cell monitor connector (5) to a fuel cell stack (4).
