Nikon D5100 flash

Hey guys. So I dug up this old Sun Pak auto 322 thyristor flash from my old Pentax Super Program 35mm camera, and was wondering if I can use this on the D5100? Is it safe to use on digital cameras?
 
Not so sure about the 322 flash. But there is a thing called trigger voltage that may fry your camera. I'd rather bite the bullet and buy a Yongnuo 560 series manual flash. I wouldn't want to risk it. But perhaps more experience photogs out there can give more insights on this.

Yeah I'm just going to buy a new flash, perhaps the Yongnuo your talking about. I went on the strobist website and they spoke of the trigger voltage. I guess the Sun Pak I have has a voltage of 220v or some redonkulous number :meh:. I'm glad I only took three shots with it on!
