Abstract: A fuel cell separator includes a first separator plate and a second separator plate for an anode or a cathode. The first and second separator plates are adjacent to each other for assembly in a fuel cell stack. A first protrusion is formed at an edge portion of the first separator plate and protrudes toward the second separator plate arranged facing the first separator plate. A second protrusion is formed at an edge portion of the second separator plate and protrudes toward the first separator plate arranged facing the second separator plate. With the first and second separator plates adjacent to each other, since side surfaces of the first and second protrusions push each other, assembly positions of the first and second separator plates are regulated. The first and second protrusions are arranged such that opposing side surfaces thereof are spaced from each other. A third gasket is arranged in a gap between the first and second protrusions.

Abstract: A channel frame for fuel cells is arranged for integrally assembling a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) having an electrolyte membrane, an anode electrode and a cathode electrode, with gas diffusion layers (GDLs) disposed on both surfaces of the membrane electrode assembly. The channel frame includes at least one protruding portion which protrudes toward an anode-side separator and a cathode-side separator and defines inlet or outlet channels for reaction gas on the channel frame.
