This is Brembo's rear axle brake pad wear sensor, made to the original equipment specification so it reports remaining pad thickness to the dash exactly as the factory sensor did. The wiring and connectors are built for the heat and the weather a wheel well throws at them. Brembo recommends fitting new wear sensors with every pad change, because the sensor is consumed along with the pad it monitors and a used one will not read the new pad correctly.
