Patent ID: 8496093

Claim:
A brake pad of a disc brake having a pad-retaining clamp supported by a caliper, the brake pad comprising: a pad carrier plate carrying a friction pad; a pad-retaining spring connected non-releasably by a cover to the pad carrier plate, the pad-retaining spring being movable in a clamping direction relative to the pad carrier plate; and a sensor of an electrical wear end indicator fitted at an edge side of the pad carrier plate, the sensor being held captively in a mounted position of the brake pad by the pad-retaining spring when the pad-retaining spring is deformed toward the pad carrier plate by the pad-retaining clamp; wherein in a deformed position of the pad-retaining spring, a spacing between the pad-retaining spring and the pad carrier plate in a region of the sensor is smaller than an associated height dimension of the sensor; and wherein in a substantially relieved position of the pad-retaining spring, the spacing between the pad-retaining spring and the pad carrier plate in the region of the sensor is equal to or greater than the associated height dimension of the sensor.
