Brake caliper for a vehicle brake, in particular for a disc brake of a commercial vehicle, the brake caliper comprising: - a brake pad having a friction lining and a brake pad carrier configured to carry the friction lining proximate to a brake disc of the vehicle brake, wherein the friction lining has a contact surface facing away from the brake pad carrier which is configured to bear against the brake disc of the vehicle brake during braking, and - a wear indication device having a fixation means and a signal wire, wherein the fixation means is configured to engage the brake pad carrier such that the wear indication device projects from the brake pad carrier towards the contact surface, wherein the signal wire is at least partly arranged externally on the wear indication device and projects therefrom towards the contact surface wherein the brake pad carrier has a carrier plane facing towards the friction lining and a rear plane opposite to the carrier plane, and wherein the fixation means is configured to engage the carrier plane and the rear plane such as to clamp the wear indication device to the brake pad carrier and wherein the fixation means has a front part engaging the carrier plane, a back part engaging the rear plane and a bridge connecting the front part and the back part, wherein preferably, the bridge is configured to rest against an upper surface of the brake pad carrier and wherein the brake pad carrier has a recess, preferably a through-hole, extending from the carrier plane to the rear plane, and wherein the signal wire is led therethrough, characterizing in that the fixation means has a recess configured to guide the signal wire, wherein the recess at least partly overlaps the recess of the brake pad carrier, and a back end portion of the signal wire is led through both recesses (146, 218), wherein the fixation means has a positioning means configured to engage a circumferential surface of the through-hole thereby arranging the fixation means at a predefined position with respect to the through-hole, and e in that the trough hole is configurated to guide the signal wire in the brake pad carrier and the recess is configurated to guide the signal wire in the fixation means. - a brake pad having a friction lining and a brake pad carrier configured to carry the friction lining proximate to a brake disc of the vehicle brake, wherein the friction lining has a contact surface facing away from the brake pad carrier which is configured to bear against the brake disc of the vehicle brake during braking, and - a wear indication device having a fixation means and a signal wire, wherein the fixation means is configured to engage the brake pad carrier such that the wear indication device projects from the brake pad carrier towards the contact surface, wherein the signal wire is at least partly arranged externally on the wear indication device and projects therefrom towards the contact surface wherein the brake pad carrier has a carrier plane facing towards the friction lining and a rear plane opposite to the carrier plane, and wherein the fixation means is configured to engage the carrier plane and the rear plane such as to clamp the wear indication device to the brake pad carrier and wherein the fixation means has a front part engaging the carrier plane, a back part engaging the rear plane and a bridge connecting the front part and the back part, wherein preferably, the bridge is configured to rest against an upper surface of the brake pad carrier and wherein the brake pad carrier has a recess, preferably a through-hole, extending from the carrier plane to the rear plane, and wherein the signal wire is led therethrough, characterizing in that the fixation means has a recess configured to guide the signal wire, wherein the recess at least partly overlaps the recess of the brake pad carrier, and a back end portion of the signal wire is led through both recesses (146, 218), wherein the fixation means has a positioning means configured to engage a circumferential surface of the through-hole thereby arranging the fixation means at a predefined position with respect to the through-hole, and e in that the trough hole is configurated to guide the signal wire in the brake pad carrier and the recess is configurated to guide the signal wire in the fixation means.
