Provided they are rated high enough for your load and are are 12V... no reason why not..

Only issue with true "micro relays" is that the pins tend to be very small.... so getting a good connection can sometimes be tricky..

IMHo.. go to your local friendly scrappy and pick up a bucket full of proper automotive relays for next to nothing!

I have a relay box in front of me here on my desk. Its is for the Note and as such is full of mini relays and fuses. Pin sizes are not much smaller than normal ones, just more compact.

Ive used them, made up a relay board out of Vero holding all of my major relays/ fuses. Had to beef up the tracks but no probs so far.
Cheers,
Bob
