Abrasion detecting probe for a brake pad

摘要

The invention provides an abrasion detecting probe for a brake pad which does not require insert-moulding and in which production costs are low. A probe 20 is housed in base components 35 and 36, which are snap-fitted together. In this manner, the terminal 22 can be attached within the base member 21 in a precise predetermined position by the simple operation of joining the base components 35 and 36 together. Therefore, as opposed to a conventional probe, insert-moulding is not required and the probe can be manufactured simply and cheaply. A sleeve 50 may provide an audible brake wear warning.
