    Using a transistor as a switch

    Hello everyone. I am new to Eng-Tips.com I mainly work on the mechanical side of a project. I am currently working on an application requiring lights be turn on by the output of a PIC16C71 micro controller. The source is 5Vdc @ 20mA and the switched output is 12Vdc @ 1A. I have tried a number...
