1985 RX7 gsl-se fuel pump relay substitute advice

From what I can tell, the OEM part for a 1985 RX7 GSL-SE fuel pump relay is Denso 056700-6380 or Mazda p/n N237-18-821. Both seem to be
difficult to find, and where I have found them I am not convinced the sellers are legitimate. I was wondering if anyone has tried the "Duralast Relay 20190.
If works that would be great, because I can get the part locally.


​​​​​​​

It physically appears the same, internally it appears schematically the same as the OEM. I'm just not sure the pin-outs are electrically the same..
I would prefer a new relay, not a used one from eBay sellers.
Appreciate any help, thanks,
don

Yes i did, thanks for the tip though. But I either I missed it or I didn't interpret the message properly; I didn't get a sense of whether the presented substitutes actually worked.
In any case, the Duralast Relay 20190 is the same as the original. I bought one from AutoZone after metering the pinouts and they are the same.
It works in the car as it should. The only difference is the "snap" securing the relay to the connector does not have a rectangular cut out as the
original, but it still snaps into place. Again thanks.
