The trigger coil has an end of the flash discharge tube inserted into the core, and includes, at the end thereof adjacent to the reflector, a secondary terminal connected to the secondary winding. The conductor elastically deforms to be in contact with the secondary terminal of the trigger coil and a lateral side of the reflector.
