A 5V digital input signal is applied to the transistor base through a resistor.
This turns the transistor ON, allowing current to flow through the relay coil.
The relay gets energized and switches the connected load.
A flyback diode protects the circuit from voltage spikes, and the LED indicates when the relay is active.
