Hello from New Orleans,

I have an application where I have to controll a sprinkler valve rated at
18V ac with a max holding currrent of 450ma.  I am using a pic 16F84.  I
thought about a relay.  I got one from the "Rat Shack" rated for 5v control
and contact rating of 125V ac @ 1 amp.

Can anyone help me with reccomendations?

Brian
