Ladies and Gentlemen:
Re:
Registration Statement on Form S‑8

We are providing this opinion in connection with the Registration Statement of STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION, a Wisconsin corporation (the “Company”), on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”), filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), with respect to the proposed sale by the Company of up to an additional 250,000 shares of Company common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Shares”), pursuant to the provisions of the Amended and Restated STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

We have examined (1) the Registration Statement; (2) the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, in each case as amended to date; (3) the Plan, as amended to date; (4) the corporate proceedings relating to the adoption of the Plan, the issuance of the Shares and the organization of the Company; and (5) such other documents and records as we have deemed necessary in order to render this opinion.  In rendering this opinion, we have relied as to certain factual matters on certificates of officers of the Company and of state officials.

Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares, when issued as and for the consideration contemplated by the Registration Statement and the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

We consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the Registration Statement.  In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are “experts” within the meaning of section 11 of the Act, or that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required by section 7 of the Act.


Yours very truly,




REINHART BOERNER VAN DEUREN s.c.

(1)
Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this Registration Statement also covers any additional shares of Common Stock which become issuable under the Amended and Restated STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without the receipt of consideration by STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION (the “Registrant”) which results in an increase in the number of the outstanding shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock.

(2)
For the purpose of computing the registration fee, the Registrant has used $25.85 as the average of the high and low prices of the Common Stock as reported on February 6, 2024 on the NASDAQ Global Market for the offering price per share, in accordance with Rules 457(c) and (h) under the Securities Act.  The actual offering price will be determined in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
