Where can I buy a replacement relay?

I received the Stuck Relay RED error.  Advanced Series - 48A/40A.  I followed the steps in this guide to clean the relay and it's working again, but I'd like to buy a replacement relay to have on hand.  The only relay in the OpenEVSE Store does not look at all like mine.  I've had a ticket open for awhile asking for this additional information, but I have not received an answer.  My relay looks like the one I included a pic of below.  Where can I purchase a replacement relay?

May be resolved by now, but I think <a href="https://openev.freshdesk.com/support/discussions/topics/6000070645" target="">this Struthers-Dunn relay replacement thread</a> may have the info related to this problem. (I think I need to replace my relay too, and this thread came up searching around.)

@Mark Fickett - I don't know if you'll see this, I hope you do.  I was able to resolve it by cleaning the connectiosn with sandpaper using the guide I linked.  I did save this on my Amazon Wish List for the future.  Tempted to just buy one to hold onto it.

@Greg B. You would need the 12v coil model. The one on your Amazon List is 6V.

Are you able to directly link me to one?  Any vendor is fine, it will really help me locate the right one instead of going off visuals.

Thanks all for the links / notes. Greg, any reason why you don't want to switch to the Packard C240C relay? My read is that it's a drop-in replacement, solves some issues with the holding power, and I like that it has inset screw-down connections ("terminal block" I think) instead of open screws ("barrier block"?); seems more secure and therefore easier to make a safe connection especially with ferrules installed on the wire.
