EXHIBIT 23.2

                               CONSENT OF COUNSEL

We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on or about March 21, 2002 (the "Registration
Statement") in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, of the Sanmina-SCI Corporation 401(k) Plan (as to 15,250,000
shares)(the "Plan" and the "Shares" as appropriate). As legal counsel for
Sanmina-SCI Corporation we have examined the proceedings taken and are familiar
with the proceedings proposed to be taken in connection with the sale and
issuance of the Shares pursuant to the Plan.

It is our opinion that the Shares, when issued and sold in the manner described
in the Plan, will be legally and validly issued, fully paid and non assessable.

We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to said Registration
Statement and further consent to the use of our name wherever appearing in said
Registration Statement and any amendments thereto.
