A receptacle connector includes a housing having tubular protrusions, the tubular protrusions having receptacle contacts at inner sides of the tubular protrusions, the tubular protrusions extending along a plugging and unplugging direction of the receptacle connector, wherein the tubular protrusions are arranged in rows; and securing structures configured to attach the receptacle connector to a plug connector. The securing structures maybe rotating latches operated by rotation towards or away from a housing or over mold. The over mold may act as a gripping surface.
