HYDRODREN FUEL CELL VOLTAGE MONITOR INTERFACE

Aspects of the disclosure include a hydrogen fuel cell voltage monitor interface utilizing spring-loaded contacts and methods of using the same. An exemplary vehicle includes an electric motor and a fuel cell stack electrically coupled to the electric motor. The fuel cell stack includes a plurality of bipolar plates. Each bipolar plate includes one or more cell voltage measurement tabs. A first set of bipolar plates includes a first positioning of the cell voltage measurement tabs and a second set of bipolar plates includes a second positioning of the cell voltage measurement tabs offset with respect to the first positioning of the cell voltage measurement tabs. The fuel cell stack includes a plurality of insulating subgasket layers alternating with the plurality of bipolar plates. An edge of each cell voltage measurement tab is molded to define a semi-spherical pocket for landing a spring-loaded contactor of a measurement device.
