In this fuel cell, among a pair of separators in which an electrically
conductive portion which is made from an electrically conducting material
is surrounded by an insulating portion which is made from an insulating
material, a cell side terminal is provided in the inner surface of the
insulating portion of at least one said separator, and extends from its
interior circumferential side to its outer perimeter side, and is able to
electrically connect the interior and exterior of the cell. This cell
side terminal is made from a metallic plate, and its inner
circumferential side end portion contacts the membrane electrode
assembly, while its outer perimeter side end portion extends to the outer
perimeter side of the insulating portion. This outer perimeter side end
portion can be connected to a measurement side terminal.
