In this project the npn transistor 2n2222 drives the relay when the npn junction gets saturated.
Arduino relay transistor diode.
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 coil of the relay needs a large current around 150ma to drive the relay which an arduino cannot provide.
