Abstract: A flat type fuel cell assembly having a connector. The flat type fuel cell assembly further includes: a fuel cell main body having membrane-electrode assemblies, each membrane-electrode assembly including an electrolyte membrane, and anode and cathode electrodes being placed at opposite sides of the electrolyte membrane; anode collectors corresponding to and being in contact with the anode electrodes of the fuel cell main body, each anode collector having a terminal protruded outwardly from the fuel cell main body; cathode collectors corresponding to and being in contact with the cathode electrodes of the fuel cell main body, each cathode collector having a terminal protruded outwardly from the fuel cell main body. Here, the connector has a wiring line to electrically connect the plurality of terminals of the anode and cathode collectors in series. With this configuration, a separate wiring process can be omitted and a manufacturing process can be simplified.

Abstract: A plate type fuel cell system includes: an electric generator including a membrane-electrode assembly having a plurality of anode electrodes and a plurality of cathode electrodes arranged on opposite surfaces of a proton-exchange membrane and spaced apart from each other; an anode separator facing the plurality of anode electrodes and having a fluid channel adapted to receive a hydrogen containing fuel; a cathode separator facing the plurality of cathode electrodes and having an air ventilating hole; a fuel distributor having an accommodating part defined by a rib to accommodate the anode separator and adapted to distribute the hydrogen containing fuel to each of the plurality of anode electrodes, the rib being partially cut out to define a rib cutting part; and a sealing member contained within the rib cutting part.
