Hi everyone. I'm using a Takamisawa RY5W-K 5V DC relay. what do i need ? and i'm using a pic18f4520 microcontroller.

hi,

The relay coil resistance is 165R at 5V , ie 30mA.

The max current I would draw from a PIC is 20mA, so you will require a transistor driver.

Do you need help with a simple circuit.?

EDIT:
Optional circuit.

You can easily do your own spice sim. If you haven't got a sim model for a relay just use a 165Ω resistor in series with ~100mH

so Rout connect to Microcontroller chip or the MCU pin? i dunno how to differentiate which pins of the relay is the switch
 
Use pins 8 & 6 as a normally open switch.
Can u read schematics?

I don't understand the difference between microcontroller chip and Mcu pin here. The Mcu pin IS the microcontroller chip interface.
 
so what pins of the relay is connected to Rout and positive of the coil?
Cos the main purpose of the relay is to design a battery charging system whereby i'm able to read the voltage from the each battery(total of 8).
