Zusammenfassung:A brake wear sensor comprises a sensor housing 12 and a housing cap 17 with an abradable conductor 11 disposed therein, and a spring clip 6 for holding the cap and housing together and for retaining the sensor in an opening slot 9 formed in a brake table 14 between two brake pads 5A, 5B. The spring clip 6 engages the opening slot 9 with clip arms 6A, 6B which compress preload springs 7A, 7B against the sensor housing 12 thereby forcing the sensor housing 12 and housing cap 17 against the underside of the brake table 14.
