Unauthorized Activities in Japan [Abstract] 
Unauthorized Activities in Japan
2. Unauthorized Activities in Japan
     As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011, we investigated unauthorized activities at Molex Japan Ltd. Based on the results of the completed investigation, we recorded for accounting purposes an accrued liability for the effect of unauthorized activities pending the resolution of the legal proceedings reported in Note 14 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
     We believe these unauthorized activities and related losses occurred from at least as early as 1988 through 2010, with approximately $167.4 million of losses occurring prior to June 30, 2007. The accrued liability for these potential net losses was $191.9 million as of September 30, 2011, including $26.1 million in cumulative foreign currency translation, which was recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. To the extent we prevail in not having to pay all or any portion of the outstanding unauthorized loans, we would recognize a gain in that amount. In addition, we have a contingent liability of $39.8 million for other loan-related expenses, interest expense and delay damages on the outstanding unauthorized loans.
