Abstract

A cell monitor connector is inserted with a first surface following a guide portion. When the cell monitor connector is further inserted, the cell monitor connector makes contact with a projection portion. In a state where the attachment is completed, the projection portion is elastically deformed so as to press a second surface. Due to this force, the cell monitor connector is held such that it is sandwiched between the projection portion and the guide portion.

Claims (8)

1. A fuel cell module comprising:

a cell of a fuel cell, the cell including a first separator, a second separator, and an insulating sheet configured to insulate the first separator from the second separator; and

a cell monitor connector including a housing, and a connection terminal accommodated in the housing, the cell monitor connector being attached to the first separator wherein:

the housing includes a first surface, and a second surface facing the first surface;

the first separator includes an exposed portion exposed from the insulating sheet and making contact with the cell monitor connector;

the exposed portion includes an attachment portion making contact with the connection terminal, and a guide portion making contact with the first surface; and

the insulating sheet includes a projection portion projecting toward the guide portion at a position facing the guide portion and configured to press the second surface.

2. The fuel cell module according to claim 1 , wherein the first surface and the second surface are surfaces perpendicular to a laminating direction of the cell of the fuel cell.
