Abstract: A current collecting device for a fuel cell stack comprising a number of stack-forming fuel cell plates between opposite end plates, each end plate being connected to a current collector. The current collector comprises a plate having one surface pressed against the associated end plate and being provided with a number of grooves extending across the a substantial part of the area of the plate. Wires are received in the grooves. The wires are covered with a layer of a noble metal that projects above the surface of the associated end plate and forms an electrical connection between the wires and the end plate.
