How to turn on 12 volts and 10 amperes of current without clicking (relay)?

Hi all.
Light but very old knowledge in electrics is available, but in practice they did not go further than controlling a servo machine and flashing, and tk. 10A current is not small, need help.
There is a micrometer, it hangs at 5 volts, the control current is very small, within 50mA (up to, this is already a lot), there is a need to turn on the power supply of 12V and up to 10 amperes (peltier) several times per hour (Peltier)
I know three types of "switches":

  1. Relay
  2. solid state relay (ssr)
  3. Transistor

Because the device will be located in the apartment, relay clicks must be avoided.
- I did not find solid-state relays with the characteristics I needed. Basically, they go 5 volts and 24 to the output, 5 volts including 12 volts withstanding 10 A current was not found.
- Transistors: Google gives a bunch of results, with diagrams and articles, but it seemed to me that none of them reveal the solution exhaustively, for someone like me - to assemble according to the circuit and sleep peacefully.
Now the question is: How to turn it on without clicking and worrying about circuitry, overheating, etc.?
For tests, I will assemble it from a relay, but in the near future I want to replace it with a silent version, because. will click at least once an hour, and sometimes times 6
Thank you.

You still need to find a solid-state relay for a constant voltage and it will cost inhumanely
From such a thing or the like, https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32896175700.html
A powerful transistor with a radiator and a strapping is suitable.
The fact that for a 3D printer do not pay attention, the module is universal and can be used for anything

Well, if Dee has it written incomprehensibly, then I already don’t know

Solid state relay (that is, semiconductor).

No solid state relay needed.
Get a MOS transistor. The main thing is that it be of the correct type (there are n and p channel), hold the required current with a margin and withstand voltages. 10a current is quite small.
It might be worth connecting the gate of the transistor to the leg of the MCU via a resistor (to limit the turn-on speed) . That's
all, as long as you don't connect any inductive loads to it.
Here's an example of a transjuk from ebay:

30V
100A
case to220 (with legs)
should turn on with 5 volts.

In your case, a field effect transistor is ideal. If you take a transistor with a low opening threshold, then it requires only 2 resistors for strapping and nothing more.
Here are the connection options with pictures:
