Hi forum! I'm looking where to find a relay too switch on/off a house appliance using 220V and rather low current (for example a light or a small machine) by using a 5V control voltage with max. 30 mA current. Is there a relay with such values? Can I use a microcontroller circuit outputing these values (5V vs. 0V) to use in an application like this??
Can you point me into a relay model i can use for this??
thanks in advance for any answer and sorry for the newbie question (new in electronics, just trying hard...)
