hi mtcjo,
Its the lowest switching load at which the relay contacts will make a good contact, in order to breakdown the contact surfaces resistance.
It you wanted a lower figure, look at 'wetted relay contact'
E

Look here.

thank you ericgibbs,

300(5/5) this mean the min load current is 5mA for each 5 V ?

also the rated coil consumption value 5mA this mean the min current to energize the relay ?

regards

hi,
The relay coil when powered from 230Vac will draw a current through the coil of 5mA, in order to energise the relay.
E
The 300/5/5 means greater than.
300mWatts or 5 Volts or 5mA is required to overcome the contact resistance.

What are you switching.?

hi,
When the relay contacts are closed the 10K will have a current of 5v/10k = 0.5mA [ which is well below the 5mA spec]

The 5v across the relay contacts when the relay is energised, should in theory be enough to breakdown the contact resistance.

I would use a 1K resistor and get the required 5mA.??

A useful alternative would be to use a 270R and say a Red LED in place of the 10k.

LED lit means the relay is energised and the contacts closed.

hi,
That looks OK.
You could swap over the 270R and LED, if it makes the mounting easier.

If it needs debouncing, add a10n cap from pin #6 to 0V

I would use a 10nF, never greater than 100nF.

Are you detecting an Interrupt on pin #6 or just checking for a voltage Low.?

A 10nF should work OK.
You could add extra debounce in your program if needed.

Out of interest, what is the project controlling.?

i need to turn motor on for a certain time if 220v push button pressed.
also i need to control the motor using RF remote control .

Thank you , sounds an interesting project.:)

I guess you know that decoupling of the PIC power supply +5V is required, say 100nF and 100uF.?
