It is an object of the present invention to provide a means for
integrating an MEA and a pair of separators and regulate their positions
without using parts that are specifically dedicated for position
regulation use. More specifically, the present invention provides a
polymer electrolyte fuel cell including a frame-integrated MEA, a
separator having a channel for supplying and releasing a fuel gas, and a
separator having a channel for supplying and releasing an oxidizer gas,
and, in this fuel cell, the frame body of the frame-integrated MEA has a
plurality of projections having a hook-shaped tip on both planes of the
frame body and each separators has a plurality of stepped parts, and the
projections on the frame body and the stepped parts on the pair of
separators are integrated by fitting together with each other.
