You have a Pentax dedicated flash, the contacts other than the the contact in the center of the hot shoe, and the ground contacts on the hot side are different than Nikon contacts.
I think it is new enough so it has a low enough voltage to be safe for your Nikon -it is safe on Pentax DSLR. But because of the difference of contacts it probably won't work as a dedicated flash i.e set shutter speed, or have auto exposure thru the lens. I don't have one handy to check if it can be used as a old style auto exposure flash - set the lens f stop to match the flash & flash shuts off when it has seen enough light. I may work as a fixed output flash - find its guide number, estimate distance & adjust f-stop.
But it might not flash at all on top of the Nikon.
Lastly with a proper remote trigger it can be used as a off camera flash.
