That looks like a standard Ford pin out relay. I think I have 6-12 of those in my Ford truck fuse/relay box less the molded on tab. They are used for all kinds of things. The numbering/diagram on the side of the relay shows the pin out and function. All very standard.
Scroll down on the Amazon page and you will see a socket for that relay. There are likely millions of those relays operating everyday in cars and trucks. Every auto parts store in the US likely has dozens of those in stock. FWIW, Bosch makes good parts, but they are not the cheapest. Look on Ebay and you can oftentimes find new Ford OEM parts like that in quantity for cheap. I had to buy some Ford 4 pin relays recently and I think I paid $8.50 for 3 relays with free shipping off Ebay. The relay was bad after I crushed it trying to remove it with pliers to debug the electrical system. :-( They sometimes get stuck in the fuse/relay boxes sockets.
