1. A connector electrically connected to a mating connector comprising a magnetic body, the connector comprising:
a housing formed of an electrically non-conductive material, and comprising a coupling portion to which the mating connector is fastened;
a conductor unit formed of an electrically conductive material, and configured to provide an electrical path, wherein at least a part of the conductor unit is exposed outside of the housing to electrically contact the mating connector; and
a magnetic unit configured to change a magnetic field with respect to the magnetic body of the mating connector, wherein the magnetic unit comprises a first magnet and a second magnet that are each configured as a multi-pole magnet facing each other, wherein the second magnet is configured to be movable to adjust a distance between the first magnet and the second magnet.
