Default Looking for contactor - 12v coil, 40A 240v contacts?

HI Folks
As the subject says - can't seem to find a contact that operates off
12volts on the coil, and is rated to switch 40+ amps @ 240v a/c.


Does such a thing exist - or do I have to use a a slave relay from the
12v to switch a 240v coil?



Try a standard car relay? Costs a couple of quid. See if it survives.
Obviously, take safety precautions in case it doesn't. But assuming it is
in a suitable housing for safety purposes, chances are it will be OK.
