1. A connector structure comprising:
a connector insert removably connectable to a female connector; and
a housing comprising a first magnet on a first surface of the connector insert, the housing being configured to attract the female connector by a magnetic force of the first magnet, wherein the first magnet is rotatable between a coupling mode and a separating mode, wherein the magnetic force between the first magnet and the female connector is stronger in the coupling mode than in the separating mode.
