               FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995


NOTE (1) - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Company without audit and pursuant to the rules and regulations

same three-month periods.

regulations dealing with interim financial statements.  However, the Company
believes that the disclosures made in the condensed consolidated financial
statements included herein are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading.  It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's 1995 Annual Report.

NOTE (3) - EARNINGS PER SHARE

     The computations of primary and fully diluted net income per common share
for fiscal year 1996 are based upon the weighted average number of common
shares contingently issuable relating to the convertible preferred stock using
the if-converted method, and including additional dilution from stock options.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 1995 (December 31, 1994), stock options did
not impact net income per share as they were either insignificant or
antidilutive, thus the computation was based solely upon the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period.

                                  PLEXUS CORP.
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the quarter ended December 31, 1995 were $71,308,000 compared to
$65,341,000 for the same period one year ago, an increase of $5,967,000 or
9.1%.  This increase was not as extensive as anticipated due to
customer-imposed delays in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 related to several
major new programs along with temporary component shortages affecting ongoing
programs.  Despite the softness in the volume growth during this quarter, it is
still expected that the Company should achieve effective volume growth during
the fiscal year ending September 30, 1996 when these delayed new programs reach
scheduled production levels.

Cost of sales for the quarter ended December 31, 1995 was $66,635,000 compared
to $60,983,000 for the same period one year ago, an increase of $5,652,000 or
9.3%.  This increase was attributed to an increase in fixed manufacturing costs
associated with new programs, which, as indicated above, were delayed.  Both
staffing and equipment additions were necessitated to handle these programs.
Despite delays in several programs and increased fixed manufacturing costs,
gross profit for the quarter ended December 31, 1995 was $4,673,000 compared to
$4,358,000 for the same period one year ago, an increase of $315,000 or 7.2%.
As a percentage of net sales gross profit remained fairly constant at 6.5% for
the quarter ended December 31, 1995 compared to 6.7% for the same period one
year ago.

Selling and administrative expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 1995
were $2,895,000 compared to $2,418,000 for the same period one year ago
resulting from increased staffing during fiscal 1995 in customer service, data
collection and information systems.  As a percentage of net sales selling and
administrative expenses increased to 4.1% for the quarter ended December 31,
1995 compared to 3.7% for the same period one year ago.  Compared to the 4th
quarter ended September 30, 1995 (which included higher than normal expenses),
selling and administrative expense actually decreased $317,000.

Interest expense decreased $168,000 to $574,000 for the quarter ended December
31, 1995 compared to $742,000 for the same period one year ago due to reduced
borrowings required to support working capital coupled with lower interest
rates.

Other income decreased $155,000 to $115,000 for the quarter ended December 31,
1995 compared to $270,000 for the same period one year ago due primarily to a
reduction in carrying charges for inventories billed to customers.

Income taxes decreased for the quarter ended December 31, 1995 due to the
decrease in income before income taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flows from operating activities were $10,168,000 and $3,522,000 for the
three-month periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Cash from
operations was provided primarily from decreases in accounts receivable and
increases in accounts payable offset by increases in inventory for the
three-month period ended December 31, 1995.  Inventories increased because the
Company was unable to defer deliveries on component parts for several of the
major new programs that were delayed.  The cash generated from operating
activities was utilized to reduce outstanding debt.

Capital additions of $596,000 were primarily concentrated in advanced
manufacturing equipment for the three-month period ended December 31, 1995.

The total debt to equity ratio as of December 31, 1995 was 1.7 to 1 compared to
1.8 to 1 at September 30, 1995.

The Company believes that its credit facilities, leasing capabilities and
projected cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet its foreseeable
short-term and long-term capital and liquidity needs.
