1. Coil
2. spring
3. contacts
A five volt signal at the coil can turn on relay. When coil is energize with 5 volt signal,
current flows through the coil. When current flows through the coil, a magnetic field is
created in the coil which attract causes the armature ( contacts) to attract towards spring.
When no current flows through coil, spring causes the contacts to pull towards normal
position. Circuit diagram of electro mechanical relay with components are given below:

Relay driver circuit using Transistor
Relay driver circuit using NPN transistor is given below. Transistor is used as a switch in this
circuit. Microcontroller provides High or low input signals to NPN transistor. NPN transistor
provide high driving current to electro mechanical relay through 12 volt external power
supply.
relay driver cricuit using transistor
Following components are used in relay driver circuit using transistor:
I have posted a project on green house system in which relay driver circuit using
uln2003 is used to drive four relays. Four relays are connected with four
different relays. Check following link to to know more about practical use of
relay driver circuit:
schamtic of
darlington pair of transistor in uln2003
Each output pin of ULN2003 provide upto 500mA current and peak current of
600mA. So this is all about relay driver circuit using uln2003. If you feel any
issue while using uln2003 IC in your project, can you write in comments.
Thanks.
