Try CPC (cpc.farnell.com), but you will probably need some sort of
`driver` between the Pi digital output and the relay coil.
Alternatively, as suggested here, a solid state switch or even an opto
isolator.

Again CPC will probably have something, but again you`ll need
something between the Pi and the `whatever`.
Are there not ready made relay modules for the Pi?
