3v boosting

Hello,

My application is prity simple.

I am trying to control a 3v realy with an xbee.

The problem here is that the xbee doesnt supplie enough power.

I found a small transistor in my tool box(2N1904), but he gave me 2.7v free load, and 1.5v between the relay and transistor.

What’s the good way to control a relay with an xbee.

BTW, the power source I am using is strong enough to control the relay(tested).

Thank you!

Also, more information please.

What is the part number of the relay, or how much current does it need to pull-in ?

What is your power source ?
