Hello,
I have a circuit query which I hope you can help with and apologies in advance if it has been covered elsewhere.
I am developing a circuit which will switch an AC lighting circuit (230Vac, 10A max) from a wireless MCU.
The digital output of the MCU will provide a 2mA, 3.3Vdc supply which in my naivety I thought I could pulse a non-latching relay to switch in/out the AC circuit however I am struggling to find a relay with a 6.6mW coil.
Has anyone used a relay (standard or solid state) to do this? If so do you have recommendations on a particular component?
I have also looked at using MOSFET's but I am a bit out of my comfort zone so any advice or pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.
Many thanks for your help,
Neil
