ABSTRACT:
An object of the present invention is to provide a wear-detection probe for a brake lining material which prevents a U-turned portion 61 of a detector K from shifting in a housing and avoids an increase of parts and steps of forming the probe 50. A hole 53 is formed within part of the inner periphery of an insulated electrical wire 60 in a housing 55 by drawing out of the housing 55 a pin 100 which serves to prevent the wire from being shifted in a mold upon mold-forming. A reinforcement bridge 54 is integrally formed in the hole 53 by the same resin material 70 as that 70 of the housing 55. Since the reinforcement bridge 54 is integrally formed in the hole 53 made by drawing the pin 100 out of the molded housing 55, it is possible to increase the strength of the probe 50 and to position the U-turned portion 61 in the housing 55 by the support of the reinforcement bridge 54. Also, it is possible to avoid an increase of parts and steps of producing the probe, since the reinforcement bridge is integrally formed in the molded housing.
