Integrated end-bus plate for fuel cell

An integrated end-bus plate for a fuel cell stack having one or more fuel cell units each having a reaction region on each side thereof, wherein said integrated end-bus plate comprises:

• a main plate body, which is made of corrosion resistant and electrical non-conducting material, having an outer side, an inner side having at least a contacting surface adapted for being flatly in contact with one side of the fuel cell unit attached adjacent to said main plate body, and a receiving groove which is indented in a middle portion and extended from one end to another end of said inner side thereof, wherein said main plate body provides one or more manifolds extended from said outer side to said contacting surface of said inner side of said main plate body;
• and
• a conducting plate, which is made of electro-conducting material, being integrally attached to said inner side of said main plate body to form an integrated body for electrically communicating with the reaction region of the fuel cell unit positioned adjacent to said main plate body while said contacting surface of said main plate body remains in contact with the respective adjacent fuel cell unit, wherein said conducting plate is embedded in said receiving groove providing a conducting surface facing out, wherein said contacting surface of said main plate body and said conducting surface of said conducting plate are on the same plane.
