A calculated resistor must be included in series with the base pinout of the transistor. This input switching signal can be anywhere between 1V and 12V ideally. The base is connected across the input signal through which the transistor needs to be switched ON or OFF. In the common emitter mode which is most frequently used configuration, the emitter pin is connected with the ground line or the negative supply line. Just like any other npn BJT, 2N3055 connections are also pretty straightforward.
