A wheel bearing apparatus incorporating a wheel speed detecting apparatus has an outer member and an inner member. Double row rolling elements freely rollably contained between the inner and outer raceway surfaces. Seals are mounted in annular openings formed between the outer member and the inner member. A sensor holder is injection molded from synthetic resin with an embedded wheel speed detecting sensor. The holder is mounted on an inner side end of the outer member. The inner side seal of the seals includes a slinger mounted onto the outer circumference of the inner ring. A pulser ring has an encoder with circumferential characteristics that alternately and equidistantly change. A metal core is press formed from a steel plate and insert-molded into the sensor holder. A sealing member is integrally bonded to the metal core. A connector for electrically connecting the wheel speed detecting sensor to a harness, connected to an electronic circuit, is mounted at a predetermined position on the circumference of the sensor holder. The connector projects radially outward from the circumference at a predetermined inclined. A recess is formed in the connector. The recess is fit onto an inner side end of the outer member in a manner to cover the inner side end, via a predetermined interface.
