Standard "automotive" relay, also used for various other things. I'd expect 
there to be some number-letter designation stuck on it by one of the many 
electrical standards agencies and committees.
If you want relay hell, get a 1990 Chrysler Lebaron coupe or convertible. It 
has a relay panel way up under the dash on the driver's side with a dozen or 
more of them all packed tight together with as close to zero gaps as they 
could. The only way to get one out of the middle is to wiggle one loose at the 
edge then the next, and then the one you need to replace.
I snagged what's supposedly a 40 amp one for free at a junkyard yesterday. Will 
see how long that one lasts.

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.
