Abstract
A polarity insensitive flash driver circuit for use in a photographic system including a camera for generating a flash trigger signal, and an electronic flash unit having a trigger circuit actuatable responsive to the flash trigger signal to initiate a flash illumination. This flash driver circuit includes a two conductor, polarity insensitive connector for connection to the flash driver circuit. A first gate controlled rectifier is connected between the two conductors for controllably conducting a current in a first polarity. A second gate controlled rectifier is connected between the two conductors for controllably conducting a current in a second polarity. Actuating means responsive to the flash trigger signal simultaneously actuate the first and second gate controlled rectifiers to conduct a current.
