                                  Schedule 13D

         On October 26, 1999,  Sigma Circuits,  Inc., a Delaware company ("Sigma
Circuits") and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Tyco International Ltd., a
Bermuda  company  ("Tyco"),  and T Merger  Sub (OR),  Inc.,  an  Oregon  company
("Merger  Sub") and a direct wholly owned  subsidiary of Sigma  Circuits,  Inc.,
entered  into an  Agreement  and Plan of Merger (the  "Merger  Agreement")  with
Praegitzer Industries,  Inc. (the "Company").  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement,
Merger Sub has  commenced a tender  offer (the  "Offer") for the common stock of
the Company (the "Common Stock"), and, following the successful  consummation of
the Offer, the parties will take the necessary action so that Merger Sub will be
merged with the Company (the "Merger"),  and the Company will become an indirect
wholly owned  subsidiary of Tyco.  The  obligations of Sigma Circuits and Merger
Sub under the Merger Agreement are guaranteed by Tyco.

        In  connection  with the Merger  Agreement,  Robert L.  Praegitzer,  the
majority shareholder of the Company, has entered into a Shareholder's  Agreement
(the  "Shareholder's  Agreement")  with Sigma Circuits and Merger Sub. Under the
terms of the Shareholder's  Agreement,  Mr.  Praegitzer has agreed,  among other
things,  to tender his shares of Common  Stock in the Offer,  or, in the case of
shares  that are  subject to certain  pledge  arrangements  and which  cannot be
tendered  in the  Offer,  to sell  such  shares  to  Merger  Sub  following  the
successful consummation of the Offer. Mr. Praegitzer has also agreed to vote his
shares  against  any  transaction  that is  inconsistent  with the Offer and the
Merger.  The Shareholder's  Agreement  terminates upon termination of the Merger
Agreement in accordance with its terms.

         Tyco,  Sigma  Circuits and Merger Sub are referred to as the "Reporting
Persons."  By reason of the  arrangements  under the  Merger  Agreement  and the
Shareholder's  Agreement,  the Reporting Persons could be deemed to beneficially
own the shares  owned by Mr.  Praegitzer.  In  accordance  with Rule 13d-4,  the
Reporting Persons disclaim  beneficial  ownership of such shares, and the filing
of this  Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission of such  beneficial
ownership or that the Reporting Persons are obligated to file this Schedule 13D.

         The Reporting  Persons have filed a Tender Offer  Statement on Schedule
14D-1,  dated  November 1, 1999 (the  "Schedule  14D-1").  The  Schedule  14D-1,
including its exhibits,  contains a discussion of the Offer and the Merger,  and
reference is made to the Schedule 14D-1 for more complete information concerning
the matters referred to above.

Item 1.   Security and Issuer.

          This Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Statement")
relates to the Common Stock of the Company.  The principal  executive offices of
the Company are located at 19081 SW 72nd Avenue, Tualatin, Oregon 97062.
