Abstract
A flash illumination system for photographic cameras including a foldable flash holder having a receptacle well formed to complement the base of a disposable flash array. The flash array base extends across the length of the array and is established by a rigid printed circuit board. Detent apertures in the board become aligned with detent projections when the flash array is inserted into the well. A retention bias is established exclusively by electrical contact blades in engagement with one face of the printed circuit board.
