Abstract
A novel disc brake shim and disc brake that can effectively suppress vibration and squeal are provided. The disc brake shim includes a base material layer formed of a metal sheet, and a foamed rubber layer that is laminated on at least a part of a main surface on one side of the base material layer, the foamed rubber layer being an outermost layer once arranged, and the disc brake includes pad materials on both sides in an axial direction of a disc rotor, and shims on opposite sides from the disc rotor, of the pad materials adjacently, wherein each of the shims is the disc brake shim of the present invention.
