Default Suggestion for 24V/120V relay to control new outlet?

and can be mounted in some simple type of wiring box. *If it can go in
the same box as the outlet, even better. * *I'd like to make this code

mount just about anything on a stud in the unfinished attic.

Thanks for any input.


After posting, I realized that while I said I only need 7 amps, since
it's an outlet on a 15 amp circuit I guess I actually need one capable
of min of 15 amps.
