Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation And Accounting Policies	Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared by Plexus Corp. and its subsidiaries (together “Plexus” or the “Company”) without audit and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the consolidated financial position of the Company as of July 2, 2016 and October 3, 2015 , and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended July 2, 2016 and July 4, 2015 , and the cash flows for the same nine month periods. The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to September 30. The Company also uses a “4-4-5” weekly accounting system for the interim periods in each quarter. Each quarter, therefore, ends on a Saturday at the end of the 4-4-5 period. Periodically, an additional week must be added to the fiscal year to re-align with the Saturday closest to September 30. The first quarter of fiscal 2015 included 14 weeks, all other fiscal quarters presented included 13 weeks. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and 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 Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company’s reportable segments consist of the “Americas” (“AMER”), “Asia-Pacific” (“APAC”) and “Europe, Middle East, and Africa” (“EMEA”) segments. Refer to Note 9, "Reportable Segments," for further details on reportable segments. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments and are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy described below. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company holds financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, certain deferred compensation assets held under trust arrangements, accounts payable, debt, derivatives, and capital lease obligations. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and capital lease obligations as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements approximate fair value. Derivatives and certain deferred compensation assets held under trust arrangements are recorded at fair value. Accounts receivable are reflected at net realizable value based on anticipated losses due to potentially uncollectible balances. Anticipated losses are based on management’s analysis of historical losses and changes in customers’ credit status. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was $247.7 million and $250.2 million as of July 2, 2016 and October 3, 2015 , respectively. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt was $250.0 million as of both July 2, 2016 and October 3, 2015 . The Company uses quoted market prices when available or discounted cash flows to calculate the fair value of its debt. If measured at fair value in the financial statements, long-term debt (including the current portion) would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy described below. Refer to Note 4, "Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements," for further details on derivatives. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (or exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The input levels are: Level 1: Quoted (observable) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.

The Credit Facility, as amended, may be further increased to $500.0 million , generally by mutual agreement of the Company and the lenders, subject to certain customary conditions. For more information regarding the amendment of the Credit Facility, see Note 14, “Subsequent Events.” During the three and nine months ended July 2, 2016 , the highest daily borrowing was $225.0 million and the average daily borrowing was $195.2 million and $185.2 million , respectively. The Company borrowed and repaid $164.0 million and $453.0 million , respectively, of revolving borrowings under the Credit Facility during the three and nine months ended July 2, 2016 . The financial covenants (as defined under the related Credit Agreement) require that the Company maintain, as of each fiscal quarter end, a maximum total leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. As of July 2, 2016 , the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants of the Credit Agreement. For the nine months ended July 2, 2016, borrowings under the Credit Facility, at the Company's option, bore interest at a defined base rate or the LIBOR rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin based upon the Company's leverage ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement. Rates would increase upon negative changes in specified Company financial metrics and would decrease to no less than LIBOR plus 1.00% or base rate plus 0.00% upon reduction in the current total leverage ratio. As of July 2, 2016 , the borrowing rate under the Credit Agreement was LIBOR plus 1.125% (or 1.588% ). As of July 2, 2016 , the $75.0 million of outstanding borrowing under the Credit Facility is effectively at a fixed interest rate as a result of a $75.0 million interest rate swap contract discussed in Note 4, "Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements." The Company is required to pay an annual commitment fee based on the daily unused revolver credit commitment based on the Company's leverage ratio; the fee was 0.175% as of July 2, 2016 . The Company also has outstanding 5.20% senior notes, due on June 15, 2018 (the “Notes”). As of July 2, 2016 and October 3, 2015 , $175.0 million of Notes was outstanding, and the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants relating to the Notes, which are generally consistent with those in the Credit Agreement discussed above. Subsequent to the end of the Company's fiscal third quarter, on July 5, 2016, the Company also amended the related Note Purchase Agreement; refer to Note 14, “Subsequent Events,” for further detail.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives And Fair Value Measurements	Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements All derivatives are recognized in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their estimated fair value. The Company uses derivatives to manage the variability of foreign currency obligations and interest rates. The Company has cash flow hedges related to variable rate debt and forecasted foreign currency obligations, in addition to non-designated hedges to manage foreign currency exposures associated with certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes. ASC Topic 815-10, “Derivatives and Hedging,” requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the statement of financial position. In accordance with ASC Topic 815-10, the Company designates some foreign currency exchange contracts and float-to-fixed interest rate derivative contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign currency expenses and of variable rate interest payments, respectively. Changes in the fair value of the derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets until earnings are affected by the variability of the cash flows. In the next twelve months, the Company estimates that $2.8 million of unrealized gains, net of tax, related to cash flow hedges will be reclassified from other comprehensive loss into earnings. Changes in the fair value of the non-designated derivatives related to recognized foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are recorded in "Other income (expense)" in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The Company enters into forward currency exchange contracts for its Malaysian operations on a rolling basis. The Company had cash flow hedges outstanding with a notional value of $67.0 million as of both July 2, 2016 and October 3, 2015 . These forward currency contracts fix the exchange rates for the settlement of future foreign currency obligations that have yet to be realized. The total fair value of the cash flow hedges was a $3.1 million asset as of July 2, 2016 , and a $9.4 million liability as of October 3, 2015 . The Company had additional forward currency exchange contracts outstanding with a notional value of $86.7 million as of July 2, 2016 ; there were no such contracts outstanding as of October 3, 2015 . The Company has not designated these derivative instruments as hedging instruments. In accordance with ASC Topic 815-10, the net settlement amount (fair value) related to these contracts is recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as either a current or long-term asset or liability, depending on the term, and as an element of "Other income (expense)." The total fair value of these derivatives was a net $0.3 million asset as of July 2, 2016 . In 2013, the Company entered into a $75.0 million notional amount interest rate swap contract, which expires on May 5, 2017, related to $75.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility. This interest rate swap pays the Company variable interest at the one month LIBOR rate, and the Company pays the counterparty a fixed interest rate. The fixed interest rate for the contract is 0.875% . Based on the terms of the interest rate swap contract and the underlying borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility, the interest rate contract was determined to be effective, and thus qualifies as a cash flow hedge. As such, any changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows. The total fair value of the interest rate swap contract as of July 2, 2016 and October 3, 2015 , was a $0.3 million and $0.5 million liability, respectively. The notional amount of the Company’s interest rate swap was $75.0 million as of both July 2, 2016 and October 3, 2015 .

The primary input in the fair value of the interest rate swaps is the relevant LIBOR forward curve. Inputs in the fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts include prevailing forward and spot prices for currency and interest rate forward curves.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit), Continuing Operations [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended July 2, 2016 was $2.6 million and $8.2 million , respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended July 2, 2016 were 9.1 percent and 12.6 percent , respectively, compared to the effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended July 4, 2015 , which were 10.8 percent and 11.4 percent , respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended July 2, 2016 decreased from the effective tax rate for the three months ended July 4, 2015 , primarily due to the geographic distribution of worldwide earnings. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended July 2, 2016 increased from the effective tax rate for the nine months ended July 4, 2015 , primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax earnings in lower tax-rate jurisdictions and in jurisdictions where the Company maintains a valuation allowance. The Company’s effective tax rate will fluctuate with the geographic distribution of its worldwide earnings, changes in tax laws, disputes with taxing authorities, tax planning activities, adjustments to uncertain tax positions and changes to deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances. There were no material additions to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits recorded for uncertain tax positions as of July 2, 2016 as compared to October 3, 2015 . The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. The amount of interest and penalties recorded for the three and nine months ended July 2, 2016 was not material. It is possible that one or more federal and state tax positions may be settled within the next 12 months. Settlement of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The Company is not currently under examination by taxing authorities in the U.S. or any foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company maintains valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a net deferred tax asset will not be realized. During the three months ended July 2, 2016 , the Company continued to record a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions within the AMER and EMEA segments, as it was more likely than not that these assets would not be fully realized based primarily on historical performance. The Company will continue to provide a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in each of the applicable jurisdictions going forward until it determines it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

Share-based Compensation [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Share-Based Compensation On February 17, 2016, the Company’s shareholders approved the Plexus Corp. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). The 2016 Plan is a stock and cash-based incentive plan, and includes provisions by which the Company may grant executive officers, employees and directors stock options, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock (including restricted stock units ("RSUs")), performance stock awards (including performance stock units ("PSUs")), other stock awards and cash incentive awards. Similar awards were offered under its predecessor, the 2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2008 Plan"), which is no longer being used for grants; however, outstanding awards granted under the 2008 Plan and its predecessor continue until vesting, exercise, forfeiture or expiration. The Company recognized $3.6 million and $10.6 million of compensation expense associated with share-based awards for the three and nine months ended July 2, 2016 , respectively, and $3.5 million and $10.6 million for the three and nine months ended July 4, 2015 , respectively. The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of stock options and stock-settled SARs. The Company uses its stock price on grant date as the fair value assigned to RSUs. The Company uses the Monte Carlo valuation model to determine the fair value of PSUs at the date of grant. The PSUs are payable in shares and vest based on the relative total shareholder return of the Company's common stock as compared to companies in the Russell 3000 Index during a three year performance period. The number of shares that may be issued pursuant to PSUs ranges from zero to 0.3 million . The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense over the share-based awards' vesting period.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Reportable Segments	Reportable Segments Reportable segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or group, in assessing performance and allocating resources. The Company uses an internal management reporting system, which provides important financial data to evaluate performance and allocate the Company’s resources on a regional basis. Net sales for segments are attributed to the region in which the product is manufactured or the service is performed. The services provided, manufacturing processes used, class of customers serviced and order fulfillment processes used are similar and generally interchangeable across the segments. A segment’s performance is evaluated based upon its operating income (loss). A segment’s operating income (loss) includes its net sales less cost of sales and selling and administrative expenses, but excludes corporate and other expenses. Corporate and other expenses primarily represent corporate selling and administrative expenses, and restructuring and impairment charges, if any. These costs are not allocated to the segments, as management excludes such costs when assessing the performance of the segments. Inter-segment transactions are generally recorded at amounts that approximate arm’s length transactions. The accounting policies for the segments are the same as for the Company taken as a whole. Information about the Company’s three reportable segments for the three and nine months ended July 2, 2016 and July 4, 2015 , respectively, is as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended July 2, July 4, July 2, July 4, Net sales: AMER $ 359,412 $ 365,860 $ 994,750 $ 1,029,876 APAC 292,644 313,900 862,535 966,433 EMEA 41,041 33,885 126,830 97,737 Elimination of inter-segment sales (25,481 ) (44,060 ) (81,175 ) (108,486 ) $ 667,616 $ 669,585 $ 1,902,940 $ 1,985,560 Operating income (loss): AMER $ 22,099 $ 20,369 $ 45,937 $ 55,506 APAC 38,283 37,082 110,097 119,852 EMEA (1,572 ) (2,511 ) (2,997 ) (8,136 ) Corporate and other costs (27,892 ) (26,309 ) (77,249 ) (80,357 ) $ 30,918 $ 28,631 $ 75,788 $ 86,865 Other income (expense): Interest expense $ (3,637 ) $ (3,280 ) $ (10,845 ) $ (10,440 ) Interest income 1,134 866 3,081 2,552 Miscellaneous 297 471 (2,451 ) 549 Income before income taxes $ 28,712 $ 26,688 $ 65,573 $ 79,526 July 2, October 3, Total assets: AMER $ 584,039 $ 573,437 APAC 1,093,234 1,011,622 EMEA 124,051 128,306 Corporate and eliminations (40,374 ) (10,977 ) $ 1,760,950 $ 1,702,388

Guarantees

Guarantees [Abstract]
Guarantees	Guarantees The Company offers certain indemnifications under its customer manufacturing agreements. In the normal course of business, the Company may from time to time be obligated to indemnify its customers or its customers’ customers against damages or liabilities arising out of the Company’s negligence, misconduct, breach of contract, or infringement of third party intellectual property rights. Certain agreements have extended broader indemnification, and while most agreements have contractual limits, some do not. However, the Company generally does not provide for such indemnities and seeks indemnification from its customers for damages or liabilities arising out of the Company’s adherence to customers’ specifications or designs or use of materials furnished, or directed to be used, by its customers. The Company does not believe its obligations under such indemnities are material. In the normal course of business, the Company also provides its customers a limited warranty covering workmanship, and in some cases materials, on products manufactured by the Company. Such warranty generally provides that products will be free from defects in the Company’s workmanship and meet mutually agreed-upon specifications for periods generally ranging from 12 months to 24 months. If a product fails to comply with the Company’s limited warranty, the Company’s obligation is generally limited to correcting, at its expense, any defect by repairing or replacing such defective product. The Company’s warranty generally excludes defects resulting from faulty customer-supplied components, customer design defects or damage caused by any party or cause other than the Company. The Company provides for an estimate of costs that may be incurred under its limited warranty at the time product revenue is recognized and establishes additional reserves for specifically identified product issues. These costs primarily include labor and materials, as necessary, associated with repair or replacement and are included in the Company's accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in "Other accrued liabilities." The primary factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the value and the number of shipped units and historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims. As these factors are impacted by actual experience and future expectations, the Company regularly assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Below is a table summarizing the activity related to the Company’s limited warranty liability for fiscal 2015 and for the nine months ended July 2, 2016 (in thousands): Limited warranty liability, as of September 27, 2014 $ 6,803 Accruals for warranties issued during the period 1,742 Settlements (in cash or in kind) during the period (2,698 ) Limited warranty liability, as of October 3, 2015 5,847 Accruals for warranties issued during the period 1,653 Settlements (in cash or in kind) during the period (1,151 ) Limited warranty liability, as of July 2, 2016 $ 6,349

Restructuring Costs [Abstract]
Restructuring Costs	Restructuring Costs Restructuring costs for the three months ended July 2, 2016 , incurred primarily in the AMER segment, relate largely to the Company's closure of its manufacturing facility in Fremont, California as a result of the Company’s optimization of its capacity to better reflect customer demand. The Company also recorded restructuring costs in the EMEA segment related to the partial closure of its Livingston, Scotland facility to align with reduced end-market demand, particularly in the oil and gas industry. These charges are recorded within "Restructuring charges" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Restructuring liabilities are recorded within "Other accrued liabilities" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three months ended July 2, 2016 , the Company incurred restructuring costs of $1.8 million , which consisted of $1.6 million of employee termination and severance costs, primarily related to the Company's workforce in Fremont, California and Livingston, Scotland, and $0.2 million of other exit costs. The Company incurred no restructuring costs during the three months ended July 4, 2015 . For the nine months ended July 2, 2016 , the Company incurred restructuring costs of $5.2 million , which consisted of $4.7 million of employee termination and severance costs, primarily related to the Company's workforce in Fremont and Livingston, and $0.5 million of other exit costs. Restructuring costs for the nine months ended July 4, 2015 related to the relocation of manufacturing operations from Juarez, Mexico to Guadalajara, Mexico. For the nine months ended July 4, 2015 , the Company incurred restructuring costs of $1.7 million , which consisted of $1.5 million of moving and transition costs resulting from the relocation of manufacturing operations from Juarez to Guadalajara and $0.1 million of employee termination and severance costs related to the Company's former workforce in Juarez. In the three and nine months ended July 2, 2016 and July 4, 2015 , the Company did not recognize an income tax benefit for these restructuring costs due to tax losses in the jurisdictions where the restructuring costs occurred. The Company's restructuring accrual activity for the three and nine months ended July 2, 2016 is included in the table below (in thousands): Employee Termination and Severance Costs Other Exit Costs Total Accrued balance, October 3, 2015 $ — $ — $ — Restructuring costs 1,394 113 1,507 Amounts utilized (338 ) (113 ) (451 ) Accrued balance, January 2, 2016 1,056 — 1,056 Restructuring costs 1,656 261 1,917 Amounts utilized (313 ) (6 ) (319 ) Accrued balance, April 2, 2016 2,399 255 2,654 Restructuring costs 1,641 164 1,805 Amounts utilized (1,201 ) (62 ) (1,263 ) Accrued balance, July 2, 2016 $ 2,839 $ 357 $ 3,196 The restructuring accrual balance is expected to be utilized by the end of the first fiscal quarter of 2017.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance that changes the accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. The guidance requires the recognition of the income tax effects of awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, thus eliminating additional paid-in capital pools. The guidance also allows for the employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting. In addition, the guidance allows for a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur rather than on an estimated basis. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact of the adoption of the new standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements and the timing of adoption. In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that primarily requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets but record expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current accounting. For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact of the adoption of the new standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements and the timing of adoption. In November 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard to simplify the presentation of deferred taxes. The new guidance requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet, as opposed to being presented as current and non-current. This guidance is required to be adopted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance may be applied either prospectively, for all deferred tax assets and liabilities, or retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued amended guidance that requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. Under the new guidance, the recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs is not affected. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued amended guidance for revenue recognition. The standard's core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance. This may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In July 2015 the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the standard. The new standard will become effective retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements and the timing of its adoption.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events On July 5, 2016, the Company amended its Credit Facility. As a result of the amendment, the maximum commitment under the Credit Facility was increased from $265 million to $300 million . The Credit Facility, as amended, may potentially be increased by up to $ 200 million to $ 500 million generally by mutual agreement of the Company, the lenders, the letter of credit issuers and the administrative agent named in the related Credit Agreement, subject to certain customary conditions. Borrowings under the Credit Facility, as amended, bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a eurocurrency or base rate plus, in each case, an applicable interest rate margin based on the Company’s then-current consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) ratio. In addition, the Amendment extends the termination date of the Credit Facility from May 15, 2019 to July 5, 2021, and modifies certain definitions and other provisions. Also on July 5, 2016, the Company amended the note purchase agreement (the "Note Purchase Agreement"), relating to the Notes. Among other changes, as a result of the amendment, certain financing and purchase transactions are now permitted and the financial covenants in the Note Purchase Agreement have been aligned with those in the Credit Agreement.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared by Plexus Corp. and its subsidiaries (together “Plexus” or the “Company”) without audit and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the consolidated financial position of the Company as of July 2, 2016 and October 3, 2015 , and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended July 2, 2016 and July 4, 2015 , and the cash flows for the same nine month periods. The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to September 30. The Company also uses a “4-4-5” weekly accounting system for the interim periods in each quarter. Each quarter, therefore, ends on a Saturday at the end of the 4-4-5 period. Periodically, an additional week must be added to the fiscal year to re-align with the Saturday closest to September 30. The first quarter of fiscal 2015 included 14 weeks, all other fiscal quarters presented included 13 weeks. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and 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 Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company’s reportable segments consist of the “Americas” (“AMER”), “Asia-Pacific” (“APAC”) and “Europe, Middle East, and Africa” (“EMEA”) segments. Refer to Note 9, "Reportable Segments," for further details on reportable segments.
Cash And Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments and are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy described below.
Fair Value Of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company holds financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, certain deferred compensation assets held under trust arrangements, accounts payable, debt, derivatives, and capital lease obligations. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and capital lease obligations as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements approximate fair value. Derivatives and certain deferred compensation assets held under trust arrangements are recorded at fair value. Accounts receivable are reflected at net realizable value based on anticipated losses due to potentially uncollectible balances. Anticipated losses are based on management’s analysis of historical losses and changes in customers’ credit status. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was $247.7 million and $250.2 million as of July 2, 2016 and October 3, 2015 , respectively. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt was $250.0 million as of both July 2, 2016 and October 3, 2015 . The Company uses quoted market prices when available or discounted cash flows to calculate the fair value of its debt. If measured at fair value in the financial statements, long-term debt (including the current portion) would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy described below. Refer to Note 4, "Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements," for further details on derivatives. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (or exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The input levels are: Level 1: Quoted (observable) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.
