Hello guys,
I'm an ME trying to do an Electrical Engineer's job for this project. A portion of our project involves using solenoid as a component to our projectile system. However, our control circuit has a pin output of 5V. The solenoid requires 12V (and I assume a large load of current), I believe this is a simple circuit design, but I am somewhat lost in the configuration of the circuit. I believe our design requires a BJT and NPN. Please let me know if you can help.
Signed,
Mechanical Guy
