A card edge connector having a housing, first contacts, and second contacts. The first and second contacts each have mounting sections and cantilevered flexible sections. The mounting sections of the first and second contacts have different lengths. The cantilevered flexible sections of the first and second contacts have the same length and shape. The first and second contacts are inserted into the housing at the same time on a single carry strip to form multi-level contact areas.
