His test circuit uses six 2N2222 transistors to protect the Arduino from excessive current. You can see six red LEDs above which are inline with the base of teach transistor.

The transistor computer uses over 2000 individual transistors to implement everything comprising the 11 ... this basically is the largest Arduino shield. That already puts a record. Report comment.

In this quick Arduino tutorial I will explain how you can control a relay using the Arduino Board, one 1K and one 10K resistors, 1 BC547 transistor, one 6V or 12V relay, one 1N4007 diode and a 12V fan ...

You also need to select the transistor by the type of fan that you use. In my case I used the well-known BD139 transistor and a 9V battery to provide power to the fan and transistor. The LM35 ...
