Relay''s

Hmm, i've only got one of these relay's so far, and i need about 9
more so is there any easier way of just turning a 12v circuit on/off
from the stamp? Solid state relay's perhaps?
Anyways, here is the exact relay i have

prrfnbr=552&prmenbr=316
its the G6A-274P-ST-US
Thanks for all your help guys
