(1)	The Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Share of the 44,717,467 shares of Common
Stock to be registered hereunder is estimated in accordance with Rule 457(h) solely for the purpose of calculating the registration
fee on the basis of $8.37 per share, the average of the high and low prices of the Registrant's Common Stock as reported on the New
York Stock Exchange on March 1, 2002.

(2)	Pursuant to Rule 457(p), the Registration Fee of $34,434.23 with respect to the 44,717,467 shares of Common Stock to be registered
hereunder is offset by fees previously paid in connection with the registration of 9,717,467 shares of Common Stock to be registered
hereunder. A Registration Fee of $66,122.31 was paid by Solectron Corporation in connection with the registration of 9,717,467 shares of
Common Shares on Form S-8 (File No. 56464) with the Commission on March 2, 2001. Therefore, we are only paying a Registration Fee
with respect to the 44,717,467 shares of Common Stock  to be registered hereunder. The Registrant has amended the previous Registration Statement
to deregister the 9,717,467 shares that will not be sold under that Registration Statement.

PART II



INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

ITEM 3.     INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

The Registrant hereby incorporates by reference in this Registration Statement the following documents and
information filed by Solectron Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission:



(a)	The Registrant's audited financial statements for the Registrant's fiscal year ended August 31, 2001
contained in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2001 filed pursuant to Section 13(a) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the  "Exchange Act") on November 15, 2001.



(b)	The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended November 30, 2001 filed pursuant to
Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act on January 11, 2002.  In addition, the Registrant's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on February
8, 2002, February 6, 2002, February 1, 2002, January 7, 2002 (as amended on January 10, 2002), December 18, 2001, December 14, 2001
(as amended on December 18, 2001), September 18, 2001, and August 31, 2001 pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act.



(c)	The description of common shares contained in Amendment No. 1 to the Registrant's Registration on Form 8-A,
filed on December 4, 2001, amending our Form 8-A previously filed on July 13, 2001, and including any reports filed under the
Exchange Act for the purpose of updating such description.



All documents subsequently filed by us pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement that
include that all securities offered pursuant to this Registration Statement have been sold or that deregister all securities then
remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part of this
Registration Statement from the date of filing of such documents.  Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be modified or superceded for purposes of this
Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein modifies or supercedes such statement.  Any such statement so
modified or superceded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superceded, to constitute a part of this Registration
Statement.



ITEM 4.     DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

Inapplicable.

ITEM 5.     INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

Inapplicable.

ITEM 6.     INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of directors to the maximum extent
permitted by Delaware law.  Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation law authorizes a court to award, or a corporation's Board
of Directors to grant, indemnification to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under
certain circumstances for liabilities  (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933.  The
Registrant's Bylaws provide for the mandatory indemnification of its directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum
extent permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law.  The Registrant has entered into agreements to indemnify its directors and
officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.  These agreements, among
other things, indemnify the director and officers for certain expenses, including attorney's fees, judgments, fines and settlement
amounts incurred by any such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of the Registrant, arising
out of such person's services as a director or officer of the Registrant, any subsidiary of the Registrant or any other company or
enterprise to which the person provides services at the request of the Registrant.



ITEM 7.     EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

ITEM 9    UNDERTAKINGS

A. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
registration statement to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.



(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-
effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering
of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.



(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered
which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.



B. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934  (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration  statement relating to the securities offered therein,  and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.



C.     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant, the Bylaws of the Registrant, indemnification agreements entered into between the
Registrant and its officers and directors or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification  is  against  public  policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant in
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered hereunder, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
