    It also says 5V relay, whereas mine, you could specify various input voltages, 12V, 24V etc. I'm not upto speed on electronics, so will let one of the others chime in !
    It has two Vccs because of the isolation circuit (opto-coupler). For your application they can be connected together. The Ctrl input would go to the relay wire on the ALP, and Vcc would go to a 5V supply (you may have to use a 7805 or 78L05 regulator or something). If you're using an Arduino it would have a 5V supply on-board.

    A circuit with a 12V relay and a transistor would be simpler to implement since you wouldn't have to provide a 5V supply.
    If I passed you on the right, YOU are in the wrong lane!
