One example connector interface includes a substrate, a first metal shell, a second metal shell, and an insert mold (I/M) component that are disposed on the substrate. The second metal shell is in a sealed connection to the first metal shell. One end of the I/M component is located in the second metal shell, and the other end of the I/M component penetrates through the second metal shell and is inserted into the first metal shell. The end of the I/M component that is located in the second metal shell is fixedly connected to the second metal shell, so that the I/M component is secured in an insertion direction. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A connector interface, the connector interface comprising a substrate, a first metal shell, a second metal shell, and an insert mold (I/M) component that are disposed on the substrate, wherein the second metal shell is in a sealed connection to the first metal shell, wherein one end of the I/M component is located in the second metal shell, wherein the other end of the I/M component penetrates through the second metal shell and is inserted into the first metal shell, and wherein the end of the I/M component that is located in the second metal shell is fixedly connected to the second metal shell, so that the I/M component is secured in an insertion direction. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The connector interface according to claim 1, wherein the I/M component comprises a first component and a second component, wherein the first component is fixedly connected to the second component, and along a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction, wherein a section dimension of the first component is greater than a section dimension of the second component, wherein the first component is located in the second metal shell body and is wrapped and secured by the second metal shell, and wherein the second component penetrates through the second metal shell and is inserted into the first metal shell. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The connector interface according to claim 2, wherein the first component is made of metal, and wherein the second component is made of plastic. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The connector interface according to claim 2, wherein a packaging adhesive layer used to package the first component is provided on a surface of the second metal shell away from the first metal shell. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The connector interface according to claim 1, wherein the second metal shell is grounded. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The connector interface according to claim 1, wherein the first metal shell is fixedly connected to the second metal shell through welding. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The connector interface according to claim 1, wherein the second metal shell is a shell body having an opening at one end, wherein a through hole for the second component to penetrate through is provided on the other end of the shell body, and wherein the first component abuts against a side wall of the through hole. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The connector interface according to claim 7, wherein: the first metal shell is a shell body having openings at two ends, and wherein the second metal shell is nested in the first metal shell;
