    Called a capacitor I believe. It probably arced and is basically welded together. Its likely that both parts will need to be replaced-not unusual.

    Sounds like you plugged the head in while the pack was energized/fired but without a head connected.

    That will weld the plug to the socket contact.

    Both components should be replaced, since they would not make proper contact again after separation.

    If you believe you can, or you believe you can't... you're right.
