Apas connector

Cutaway of blaster handle showing location of apas connectors

An apas connector was part of a blaster's inner mechanism. It was connected to the power flux dispersion unit. The apas connectors allowed excess flashback energy from the weapon's discharge to be channelled into the dispersion unit, allowing it to dissipate.
