	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Sanmina Corporation (the “Company”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to those rules or regulations. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but reflect all normal recurring and non-recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 28, 2013, included in the Company's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
	The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
	Results of operations for the six months ended March 29, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year.
	The Company operates on a 52 or 53 week year ending on the Saturday nearest September 30. Fiscal 2014 and 2013 are each 52-week years. All references to years relate to fiscal years unless otherwise noted.

	Fair Value
	Fair Value Option for Long-term Debt
	The Company has elected not to record its long-term debt instruments at fair value, but has measured them at fair value for disclosure purposes. As of March 29, 2014, the carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt instruments were $540.0 million and $570.0 million, respectively. Fair value was estimated based on quoted prices (Level 2 inputs).
	Assets/Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
	The Company's primary financial assets and financial liabilities are as follows:
	•	Money market funds
	•	Time deposits
	•	Foreign currency forward contracts
	•	Interest rate swaps
	Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and also considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability.
	Inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are prioritized into three broad levels (fair value hierarchy), as follows:
	Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2: Inputs that reflect quoted prices, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the assets or liabilities, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in less active markets; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation.
	Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of assets or liabilities.
	There were no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy during any period presented herein. The following table presents information as of March 29, 2014 with respect to assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
			Money market funds		Time deposits		Derivatives designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815: Foreign Currency Forward Contracts and Interest Rate Swaps			Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815: Foreign Currency Forward Contracts and Interest Rate Swaps			Total
			Level 1		Level 1		Level 2			Level 2

	The following table presents information as of September 28, 2013 with respect to assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
			Money market funds		Time deposits		Derivatives designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815: Foreign Currency Forward Contracts and Interest Rate Swaps			Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815: Foreign Currency Forward Contracts and Interest Rate Swaps			Total

	(1) Liabilities, or credit balances, are presented as negative amounts.
	The Company sponsors deferred compensation plans for eligible employees and non-employee members of its Board of Directors that allow participants to defer payment of part or all of their compensation. The Company's results of operations are not significantly affected by these plans since changes in the fair value of the assets substantially offset changes in the fair value of the liabilities. As such, assets and liabilities associated with these plans have not been included in the above tables. As of March 29, 2014 and September 28, 2013, assets and liabilities associated with these plans were approximately $11.5 million and $11.0 million, respectively, and are recorded as other non-current assets and other long-term liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
	The Company values derivatives using observable Level 2 market inputs at the measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount assuming that participants are motivated, but not compelled, to transact. The Company seeks high quality counterparties for all financing arrangements. For interest rate swaps, Level 2 inputs include short-term LIBOR rates, futures contracts on LIBOR between two and four years, longer term swap rates at commonly quoted intervals, and credit default swap rates for the Company and relevant counterparties. For currency contracts, Level 2 inputs include foreign currency spot and forward rates and interest rates at commonly quoted intervals. Mid-market pricing is used as a practical expedient for fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 requires the fair value measurement of an asset or liability to reflect the nonperformance risk of the entity and the counterparty. Therefore, the counterparty's creditworthiness when in an asset position and the Company's creditworthiness when in a liability position have been considered in the fair value measurement of derivative instruments. The effect of nonperformance risk on the fair value of derivative instruments was not material as of March 29, 2014 or September 28, 2013.
	Offsetting Derivative Assets and Liabilities
	In the first quarter of 2014, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-11, "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities " and ASU No. 2013-01, "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities", which require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable financial statement users to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements, including rights of setoff associated with the entity's recognized financial assets and liabilities, on the entity's financial position. The adoption of these ASUs did not impact the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
	The Company has entered into master netting arrangements with each of its derivative counterparties that allows net settlement of derivative assets and liabilities under certain conditions, such as multiple transactions with the same currency maturing on the same date. The Company presents its derivative assets and derivative liabilities on a gross basis in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amount that the Company had the right to offset under these netting arrangements was not material as of March 29, 2014 or September 28, 2013.
	Non-Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
	Assets held-for-sale, consisting of land and buildings, are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis since these assets are subject to fair value adjustments only when the carrying amount of such assets exceeds the fair value of such assets or such assets have been previously impaired and the fair value exceeds the carrying amount by less than the amount of the impairment that has been previously recognized. Level 2 inputs consist of independent third party valuations based on market comparables. The carrying value of the Company's assets held-for-sale was $11.6 million and $4.4 million as of March 29, 2014 and September 28, 2013, respectively, and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	Derivative Financial Instruments
	The Company is exposed to certain risks related to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are interest rate risk and foreign exchange rate risk.
	Interest Rate Risk
	Interest rate swaps are used to manage interest rate risk associated with borrowings under the Company's long-term debt arrangements.
	Interest Rate Swaps Not Designated As Hedging Instruments
	The Company has interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $257 million that were entered into in 2007 to hedge LIBOR-based variable rate interest payments expected to occur through June 15, 2014. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company determined, based on its intention of redeeming $257.4 million of its senior floating rates notes due in 2014 ("2014 Notes"), that it was no longer probable that LIBOR-based, variable rate interest payments would occur on $257 million of debt through June 15, 2014. Accordingly, the Company dedesignated its interest rate swaps in their entirety in the first quarter of 2013 and recorded a charge of $14.9 million to other income (expense), net, representing the portion of the value of the interest rate swaps previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) for which it was no longer probable that LIBOR-based variable rate interest payments would occur. As of March 29, 2014, the remaining AOCI balance for the swaps was related entirely to an income tax effect of $3.3 million. This balance will be released from AOCI upon termination or maturity of the swaps.
	Under the terms of the swap agreements, the Company pays the independent swap counterparties a fixed rate of approximately 5.6% and the swap counterparties pay the Company an interest rate equal to three-month LIBOR. As of March 29, 2014, the fair value of the interest rate swaps was $3.0 million and is included in accrued liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company will continue to make and receive payments under the swaps through June 15, 2014. Beginning on the date the interest rate swaps were dedesignated, changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps have been recorded to other income (expense), net, in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. Such amounts were not material for any period presented herein.
	Fair Value Hedge
	The Company has $500 million of fixed-rate senior notes (the "2019 Notes") outstanding as of March 29, 2014 and has an interest rate swap with a single counterparty to hedge its exposure to changes in the fair value of the notes resulting from fluctuations in interest rates. The swap agreement, with a notional amount of $500 million and an expiration date of May 15, 2019, effectively converts these notes from fixed-rate debt to variable-rate debt. Pursuant to the interest rate swap, the Company pays the swap counterparty a variable rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus a spread and receives a fixed rate of 7.0% from the swap counterparty. Consistent with the Company's ability to call the 2019 Notes beginning in May 2014, the swap counterparty has the unilateral right to terminate the swap beginning in May 2014 and pay the Company a market termination fee. In accordance with ASC Topic 815, the interest rate swap is accounted for as a fair value hedge and is exempt from periodic assessment of hedge effectiveness. Therefore, the change in the fair value of the 2019 Notes resulting from changes in interest rates is assumed to be equal and opposite to the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap. As of March 29, 2014, the fair value of the interest rate swap was $17.2 million and is included in other non-current assets and long-term debt on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.
	Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
	Forward contracts on various foreign currencies are used to manage foreign currency risk associated with forecasted foreign currency transactions and certain monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. The Company's primary foreign currency cash flows are in certain Asian and European countries, Israel, Brazil and Mexico.
	The Company had the following outstanding foreign currency forward contracts that were entered into to hedge foreign currency exposures:
		As of
		March 29, 2014				September 28, 2013
	Derivatives Designated as Accounting Hedges:
	Notional amount (in thousands)	$	109,665			$	100,679
	Number of contracts	43				41
	Derivatives Not Designated as Accounting Hedges:
	Notional amount (in thousands)	$	214,570			$	190,226
	Number of contracts	41				42
	The Company enters into short-term foreign currency forward contracts to hedge currency exposures associated with certain monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. These contracts have maturities of up to two months and are not designated as accounting hedges under ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, these contracts are marked-to-market at the end of each period with unrealized gains and losses recorded in other income (expense), net, in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. For the three and six months ended March 29, 2014, the Company recorded losses of $0.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively, associated with these forward contracts. For the three and six months ended March 30, 2013, the Company recorded a gain of $0.9 million and a loss of $1.8 million, respectively, associated with these forward contracts. From an economic perspective, the objective of the Company's hedging program is for gains and losses on forward contracts to substantially offset gains and losses on the underlying hedged items.
	The Company also utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to hedge certain operational (“cash flow”) exposures resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Such exposures generally result from 1) forecasted sales denominated in currencies other than those used to pay for materials and labor, 2) forecasted non-functional currency labor and overhead expenses, 3) forecasted non-functional currency operating expenses, and 4) anticipated capital expenditures denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity making the expenditures. These contracts may be up to twelve months in duration and are accounted for as cash flow hedges under ASC Topic 815.
	For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded as a component of AOCI, an equity account, and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on derivative instruments representing hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings. Other than ineffectiveness of $14.9 million recognized in the first quarter of 2013 in connection with a dedesignation of interest rate swaps, the amount of ineffectiveness on a quarterly basis has been immaterial. As of March 29, 2014, AOCI related to foreign currency forward contracts was not material.

	(1) Represents fair value hedge accounting balance related to interest rate swaps. See Note 4 for discussion.
	Other than the Company's secured debt due in 2015, the Company's debt agreements do not contain financial covenants currently applicable to the Company, but do include a number of restrictive covenants, including restrictions on incurring additional debt, making investments and other restricted payments, selling assets, paying dividends and redeeming or repurchasing capital stock and debt, subject to certain exceptions. The Company's secured debt due in 2015 requires the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio during its term. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of March 29, 2014.
	Short-term debt
	The Company has a $300 million secured asset-backed revolving credit facility. Borrowings under this facility bear interest, at the Company's option, at a rate equal to LIBOR or a base rate equal to Bank of America, N.A.'s announced prime rate, in each case plus a spread. The facility expires on March 16, 2017. As of March 29, 2014, $50.0 million of borrowings and $22.7 million of letters of credit were outstanding under this facility.
	As of March 29, 2014, certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company had a total of $184 million of short-term borrowing facilities, under which no borrowings were outstanding. These facilities expire at various dates through the second quarter of 2015.

	Commitments and Contingencies
	Litigation and other contingencies. From time to time, the Company is a party to litigation, claims and other contingencies, including environmental and employee matters and examinations and investigations by governmental agencies, which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a contingent liability when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of loss is reasonably estimable in accordance with ASC Topic 450, Contingencies, or other applicable accounting standards. As of March 29, 2014 and September 28, 2013, the Company had reserves of $21.5 million and $22.2 million, respectively, for certain environmental matters, litigation and other contingencies, excluding reserves for uncertain tax positions, which the Company believes is adequate. Such reserves are included in accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
	The Company is subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws, regulations and administrative orders concerning environmental protection, including those addressing the discharge of pollutants into the air and water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, the cleanup of contaminated sites, the materials used in products, and the recycling, treatment and disposal of materials. As of March 29, 2014, the Company has been named in a lawsuit alleging certain of its current and former sites contributed to groundwater contamination. Although it is reasonably possible that the Company may incur a loss in connection with this matter, the amount of loss or range of loss cannot be reasonably estimated.
	Warranty Reserve. The following table presents information with respect to warranty reserves, which are included in accrued liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets:

	Restructuring
	Due to substantial completion of all actions under restructuring plans and immateriality of the remaining accrual balance related to such plans, these plans have been combined for disclosure purposes. In connection with these plans, the Company expects to incur restructuring costs in future periods primarily for vacant facilities and former sites for which the Company is or may be responsible for environmental remediation. Costs incurred with respect to vacant facilities consist primarily of 1) costs to maintain vacant facilities that are owned until such facilities can be sold and 2) the portion of the Company's lease payments and operating costs that have not been recovered due to the absence of sublease income for vacant leased properties.
	Below is a summary of restructuring costs associated with facility closures and other consolidation efforts (in thousands):
	Accrual balance at September 28, 2013	$	6,278
	Employee severance and benefits	279
	Leases and facilities shutdown costs	4,967

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	Income Taxes
	The Company estimates its annual effective income tax rate at the end of each quarterly period. The estimate takes into account the geographic mix of expected pre-tax income (loss), expected total annual pre-tax income (loss), enacted changes in tax laws, implementation of tax planning strategies and possible outcomes of audits and other uncertain tax positions. To the extent there are fluctuations in any of these variables during a period, the provision for income taxes may vary.
	In March 2014, a foreign tax authority completed its audit of the Company’s 2006 tax return and issued an assessment challenging certain of the Company’s tax positions, most notably intercompany transfer pricing. The Company disagrees with the assessment and will vigorously contest it through the appropriate administrative procedures. In accordance with the accounting requirements for uncertain tax positions, the Company has concluded that it will more likely than not prevail in all positions based upon their technical merits. The final outcome of this audit cannot be reliably predicted and could materially affect the Company’s financial statements if not resolved in a manner consistent with the Company’s tax positions.
	The Company is subject to income taxation in many jurisdictions around the world and is therefore also subject to examination by domestic and foreign tax authorities. In connection with these examinations, the Company frequently faces challenges regarding the amount of taxes due. These challenges can involve complex issues, interpretations and judgments made by the Company related to the timing, nature and amount of deductions and the allocation of income between various tax jurisdictions. Resolution of these examinations may span many years, particularly if subject to negotiation or litigation. The Company believes its reserves for uncertain tax positions are adequate.
	The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2014 and 2013 was $17.8 million and $13.0 million, respectively, and $28.4 million and $16.0 million for the six months ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013, respectively. The increase for both the three and six month periods was primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income, changes in the jurisdictional mix of where income was earned and discrete events including changes in tax law in certain foreign jurisdictions. As a result of tax law and tax rate changes in certain foreign jurisdictions, the Company recorded a benefit of $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2014 related to revaluation of certain deferred tax assets.

	Stock repurchase program
	In 2013, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $100 million of the Company's common stock in the open market or in negotiated transactions off the market. The common stock repurchase program has no expiration date. During the three and six months ended March 29, 2014, the Company repurchased 1.1 million and 2.8 million shares of its common stock in the open market for $18.8 million and $44.0 million, respectively.
	In addition to the program discussed above, the Company repurchased 36,000 and 64,000 shares of its common stock for $0.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in settlement of employee tax withholding obligations due upon the vesting of restricted stock units during the three and six months ended March 29, 2014.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]	'
Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	Business Segment, Geographic and Customer Information
	ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments, products and services, geographic areas of operations and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker or decision making group in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
	The Company's operations are managed as two businesses: Integrated Manufacturing Solutions (IMS) and Components, Products and Services (CPS). The Company's CPS business consists of multiple operating segments which do not meet the quantitative threshold for being presented as reportable segments. Therefore, financial information for these operating segments is presented in a single category entitled "CPS" and the Company has only one reportable segment - IMS.
	Effective in the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company's Optical and RF modules group was moved from IMS to CPS. Accordingly, the prior period results presented below reflect this change in segment reporting to conform to the current period segment reporting structure.
	The following table presents revenue and a non-GAAP measure of gross profit used by management to allocate resources and assess performance of operating segments:
