Claim Text:
1. A connector for a solid oxide fuel cell, the connector comprising a conductive body part for electrically connecting solid oxide fuel cells to each other, each of the solid oxide fuel cells including a first electrode having an inner passage and an electrolyte and second electrode successively stacked on the first electrode to expose both ends of the first electrode, characterized in that the conductive body part having top and bottom surfaces opposite to each other and side surfaces connecting the top and bottom surface, comprises: a first electrode contact groove formed in the top surface in which the exposed end portions of the first electrode and at least a portion of the second electrode of a first solid oxide fuel cell of the solid oxide fuel cells are accommodated, the first electrode contact groove being electrically connected to the first electrode of the first solid oxide fuel cell; and a second electrode contact groove formed in the bottom surface in which the exposed end portions of the first electrode and at least a portion of the second electrode of a second solid oxide fuel cell of the solid oxide fuel cells are accommodated, the second electrode contact groove being electrically connected to the second electrode of the second solid oxide fuel cell, wherein the body part further comprises: a first through hole penetrating through the body part, the first through hole being connected to a first end of the first electrode contact groove and a first end of the second electrode contact groove, which are adjacent to each other; and a second through hole penetrating through the body part, the second through hole being connected to a second end of the first electrode contact groove and a second end of the second electrode contact groove which are adjacent to each other.
