Accordingly, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a fuel cell having a structure for detachably mounting a cell-monitoring connector thereon that substantially obviates one or more problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art.
One of the objectives of the present disclosure is to provide a fuel cell having a structure for detachably mounting a cell-monitoring connector thereon in an easy, quick, and simple manner.
According to one exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a fuel cell having a structure for detachably mounting a cell-monitoring connector thereon may include a plurality of separators arranged to be spaced apart from each other in a first direction, each of the plurality of separators including a receiving recess arranged in one side of each of the plurality of separators, and a plurality of gaskets respectively disposed on the plurality of separators and located around the receiving recess. The cell-monitoring connector may include a housing, at least a portion of the housing being received in a receiving space defined by the receiving recess of each of the plurality of separators, and a plurality of connection terminals inserted into the housing, the plurality of connection terminals being connected to the plurality of separators, respectively. The housing may include a body inserted into the receiving space in a second direction that intersects the first direction, at least a portion of the body being received in the receiving space, and a lever portion including a latching protrusion configured to be movable when pressed in a third direction that intersects the first direction and the second direction, the latching protrusion being latched to or separated from a corresponding gasket among the plurality of gaskets.
