Cell voltage measuring connector for fuel cell stack

A cell voltage measuring connector for a fuel cell stack, comprising:

• a housing includes:
• terminal insertion slits on a rear surface thereof to be mounted to terminal rows, which are formed by a plurality of terminals formed on sides of separating plates of the stack;
• and
• locks that correspond to lock grooves on an upper surface thereof;
• connecting terminals inserted into connecting terminal insertion apertures of the housing;
• a terminal positioning assurance component (TPA) mounted to a front surface of the housing to press-fit the connecting terminals inserted into the housing;
• a connector position assurance component (CPA) locked with the lock groove when inserted into the locks to prevent the housing from detaching from separating plates;
• and
• connecting terminals each having a terminal connecting portion inserted into the connecting terminal insertion aperture and connected to the terminal of the separating plate and a wire chucking portion that extends from the terminal connecting portion to surround a wire,
• wherein the terminal connecting portion has connecting pieces widened while contacting opposite side surfaces of the terminal to prevent connecting points of the connecting pieces from contacting each other with respect to a contact line, and
• the connecting terminals remain attached to the separating plates even when the separating plates constitute an ultra-slim film.
