Abstract: What is proposed is simply-structured initial slippage detection means. When a contact member (5) comes in contact with a contact receiving member (2) via a pressure-sensitive conductive sheet (3A), it is confirmed, on the basis of a change in resistivity of the pressure-sensitive conductive sheet (3A) and in response to a detection signal (S1) transmitted from the pressure-sensitive conductive sheet (3A), that initial slippage has occurred right before the occurrence of slippage displacement, at a time when a high-frequency waveform component (VpX) generated right before the occurrence of the slippage displacement of the contact member (5) exceeds a predetermined threshold value. Therefore, it is possible to realize a slippage detection device whose slippage detection section is smaller, more lightweight and thinner.
