Abstract: A sheath-bonding link box includes a housing forming an enclosure defining an interior space. A plurality of electrically conductive connectors extend through the housing between an exterior of the enclosure and the interior space. The plurality of connectors each have an internal connecting portion positioned inside of the interior space and an external portion positioned outside of the enclosure. The internal connecting portion is electrically connectable to a functional link in the interior space. The external portion is dimensioned to be electrically connectable to a sheath-bonding lead. The internal connecting portions of the electrically conductive connectors and the functional links are mounted to at least one electrically insulating carrier unit. The carrier unit includes a plurality of receptacles, with each receptacle adapted to at least partly receive one of the functional links in an orientation along a longitudinal axis of the internal connecting portion of each connector.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bipolar plate for a fuel cell. The bipolar plate has a fuel side, an oxidant side, two individual plates and a coolant cavity arranged between the individual plates. At least one of the individual plates has at least one seal on the outer surface thereof. The individual plates are connected by way of at least one connecting seam. The bipolar plate is considered in that the at least one connecting seam does not intersect with or overlap with the at least one seal. The invention further relates to a fuel cell consisting at least one bipolar plate and to a method for producing the bipolar plate.
