Activation stud

"How does it work?"
"On the same principle as my whip…when you activate that stud on the hilt, it releases a beam of coherent energy which forms the sword blade."

―Den Siva and Lumiya^[src]

The activation stud, slide, or plate, was a component on a lightsaber or lightwhip hilt that was used to activate the weapon's energy blade.
