Abstract
An object is to accurately set an end of a detection conductor of a wear-detection probe for a brake lining material at a predetermined position in a housing. The wear-detection probe is produced by the steps of: connecting a detection conductor 1 to a positioning member 3 at a given position, the positioning member being electrically insulated from the detection conductor 1; fixing a securing portion 31 formed on the positioning member 3 on a work table at a given position with respect to a mold; forming a resin housing 4 containing a part of the positioning member 3 in the mold so that a detector 1a of the detection conductor 1 is inserted in the housing 4 and the securing portion 31 is projected from the housing 4; and removing the positioning member 3 including the securing portion 31 which is projected from the housing 4. It is thereby possible to reliably detect a wear limit of a brake lining material by means of the probe,
