I was able to snag some Hypex NC252MP modules for cheap and decided to build an amplifier for my Surrounds and Atmos. Got most of the parts but need a little help with a part and some wiring questions.

For power, I will be using a switched IEC outlet (10A rating) and a 10A 6x30mm Fuse Holder. I will then add a 3.5mm mono jack for 12v trigger control from my Monoprice HTP-1. But I need suggestions for a good 12v trigger relay. I was going to get this one but after looking at a DIY thread on AVS, I saw that when another user tried it, it didn't hold up for more than a day. And it has also been pointed out that the contact traces on it are fairly small, so it's doubtful it can handle the 250V/10A specification listed.

So my big question: any suggestions for a proper 12V trigger relay? The HTP-1 outputs up to 50mA per trigger out.

Thanks all!

I'd also be willing to compensate someone for their expertise to make sure I do this build right.
