Patent ID: 8383282

Claim:
A contact arrangement for a fuel cell stack, comprising: a first and a second membrane electrode assembly, the first and the second membrane electrode assemblies each having and anode and cathode; an interconnector arrangement for establishing an electrically conducting connection between the anode of the first membrane electrode assembly and the cathode of the second membrane electrode assembly through at least one contact element on an anode side of the interconnector arrangement and at least one contact element on a cathode side of the interconnector arrangement, wherein at the side of the interconnector arrangement facing the anode, at least one component to be sintered is provided which is coupled to the first or second membrane electrode assembly such that the electrically conducting connection can be established through the contact element on the anode side by sintering of the component to be sintered, wherein at the side of the interconnector arrangement facing the cathode, the interconnector is coupled to the second membrane electrode assembly exclusively through at least one contact bar.
