2 x 220ω resistors.
Arduino relay transistor diode.
The coil of the relay needs a large current around 150ma to drive the relay which an arduino cannot provide.
The base terminal of the 2n2222 transistor is connected to any of the digital i o pin of the arduino through a 1kω current limiting diode in this project base is connected to pin 7 of arduino.
The project is used to demonstrate the high voltage driving capabilities of a relay using arduino uno.
Resistor adjusts input current from arduino to the transistor.
The design of the circuit is described here.
