Abstract
The present invention provides an electric disk brake which enables an operation for wiring the harness to be easily conducted without the risk of lowering production efficiency. A caliper body-side connectorwhich, together with a harness-side connectorof a harness, forms a connector, is provided in a caliper body. In the caliper body-side connector, first to fourth lead-out terminalstoconnected to an electric portion for an electric motor are arranged in this order from a first side portiontowards a third side portionof a cover. In the harness-side connector, a first set of first to fourth harness-side terminals and a second set of first to fourth harness-side terminals independently connected to the first to fourth lead-out terminalstoare arranged in reverse order. When an electric disk brakeis used for each of the left rear wheel and the right rear wheel, one of the first set of first to fourth harness-side terminals and the second set of first to fourth harness-side terminals is used for the left rear wheel while the other is used for the right rear wheel, and the first to fourth lead-out terminals and the first to fourth harness-side terminals are connected. The harnessesextend in the same direction relative to the vehicle, thus ensuring ease of operation for wiring the harnesses
