thank you ericgibbs,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'

Look here.

you mean add 100nf and 100uf between Vdd and Vss ?Thank you , sounds an interesting project.
I guess you know that decoupling of the PIC power supply +5V is required, say 100nF and 100uF.?
