Disclosed herein are a common flow field type fuel cell separator, a fuel cell separator assembly, and a fuel cell stack, including a flow field connected to a manifold in which an inlet and an outlet for each of hydrogen, air, and cooling water are formed, and configured such that flows of the hydrogen, the air, and the cooling water are free from interfering with each other.

A single multi-functional position holder is positioned in a receiving space of a housing to implement multiple functions of: satisfying a limitation on the height of a connector by making contact with an insertion portion and a concentric mounting portion of a connector assembly assembled through a curling process; increasing durability to absorb an internal load attributable to the curling process, by making tight contact with the housing; and preventing shaking of a PCB assembly due to a disturbance by restricting the PCB assembly to hold a PCB, thereby reducing the number of component parts of the connector, the process steps, and the cost. In particular, the multi-functional position holder is fixed in the housing without welding so that it is possible to remove a welding process from an assembling process of the connector.
