Abstract
A fuel cell stack includes a structural endplate having an exterior surface. An insulator plate contacts an interior surface of the structural endplate located on an opposite surface of the endplate relative to the exterior surface. A collector plate contacts the insulator plate on an opposite side of the insulator plate relative to the structural endplate. A pocket plate is located on an interior side of the collector plate located on an opposite side of the insulator plate relative to the structural endplate. The collective plate is received in a pocket of an exterior side of the pocket plate. The exterior side is adjacent the collector plate and closer to the structural endplate than an opposite side of the pocket plate.
