                      SUMMARY OF ROBINSON NUGENT, INC.
                      BONUS PLAN TO EXECUTIVE OFFICERS



     The Board of Directors has adopted a bonus plan for executive officers 
and key employees for fiscal year 1997.  The terms of the plan are the same 
as the Company's bonus plan for the prior year, or fiscal year 1996.  
Executive officers are eligible for a first tier bonus award provided the 
consolidated pretax income of the Company and subsidiaries for fiscal year 
1997 exceeds the reported pretax income for fiscal year 1996.  A second tier, 
or added, bonus award is payable to executive officers provided the 
consolidated pretax income for fiscal year 1997 exceeds the pretax income 
objectives outlined in the fiscal year 1997 annual financial plan.  The bonus 
awards under both tiers are predicated upon a formula whereby bonuses 
increase in proportion to the level of pretax income over the prior year and 
financial plan objectives, respectively. The maximum bonus award for 
executive officers approximates 26 percent to 36 percent of base 
compensation.  No bonuses were paid under this plan for fiscal year 1996.
