Abstract
A flash lamp array circuit having radiation-sensitive switches and fuse elements being connected in the conductive carbon ink circuit pattern wherein each of said fuse elements comprises a plurality of spaced apart strips to provide more reliable thermal decomposition and increased electrical conductivity.
Claims7
An improved photoflash array having a plurality of high voltage type flash lamps connected to a lamp firing circuit pattern of conductive carbon ink deposited on a circuit board with radiation-sensitive switches and fuse elements being connected in said circuit pattern for sequential firing of said flash lamps, said fuse elements being provided by narrowing the width of the circuit pattern at the fuse locations to undergo thermal decomposition when activated with radiation, wherein the improvement comprises each of said fuse elements being a plurality of spaced apart strips.
