Will this circuit work?

I have this certain setup. I have very a very limited time with trainer boards at school so i need to confirm this before i try it out physically.

i used just 1 BC547 transitor before but it was not enough to turn on the relay. Will this now turn on the relay?

Hello,

Is the -12 Volts ground level?
As drawn the power supply is 24 Volts.
The relays is most times connected at the collector side of the transistor.
There should also be a diode accross the relayls coil to prevent back EMF to destroy the transistor.
This diode has the cathode to the plus-side of the relays.

How can i determine if the -12v is ground level?. The 12v is coming from an external relay module board which has a +12 -12v.

WIll the current be a bit too high for the base of the BD139?

Hello,

What is the voltage difference between the - 12 Volts and the input base connection (2.8 Volts)?
That is why I asked if the -12 volts is your ground reference.
