The objective of the invention is to prevent plastic deformation of separators in a heat cycle of the fuel cell, to thereby prevent damage to the power generation cell. A laminated body is formed by alternately laminating power generation cells (5) and separators (8) having reactant gas passages (11 and 12) inside thereof, and a fuel gas manifold and an oxidant gas manifold, which are in communication with the reactant gas passages (11 and 12) of each separator (8) and extending in the laminating direction, are located at a periphery of the laminated body, and a load is applied to the laminated body in the laminating direction. The separator (8) includes: an interconnect section (8a) at a center of which the power generation cell (5) is located; and a pair of arm sections (8b) with an elongated strip shape, each arm section (8b) extending from a rim of the interconnect section (8a), and an end (8c) of each arm section (8b) being connected to the fuel gas manifold or the oxidant gas manifold. The arm section (8b) has flexibility so that it can be deformed in the laminating direction, and the deformation of the arm section (8b) is kept in the range of elastic deformation during the heat cycle.
