Friction pad (1) for mounting on a brake lining, including a base (11) and at least one first friction material block (12), which is attached to at least one portion of said base (11), the base (11) and the first friction material block (12) defining a first plane at the interface thereof. The base (11) has: a mounting bracket (111) to which the at least first friction material block (12) is attached, at least one first hooking interface (112) distant from the mounting bracket (111) in a direction parallel to the first plane, for directly or indirectly attaching the pad (1) to the brake lining, and at least one first neck (113) extending parallel to the first plane, forming a resilient leaf between the mounting bracket (111) and the first hooking interface (112), to enable the mounting bracket (111) to accommodate translational and rotational movements in every direction.
