Controlling 3.7 Amps solenoid with arduino uno

Hello !
For a project I need to control a 12V and 3.7 Amps solenoid and I was wondering if it was possible with an Arduino Uno. I know only a few hundred mA can go through the board, but are there any electronics that I could use to make this work ?
Here is the link to the solenoid : 1 Channel 5V Relay Module.
And I was planning on using this relay for the voltage : 1 Channel 5V Relay Module.

The circuit I was planning on doing is the same as the one in this article : Solenoid valve with Arduino | Arduino interface with Solenoid Valve | Arduino tutorial.

but then i realized the solenoid might draw too much current and fry the board?

Thank you for any responses !!

this relay support 10A

Thank you ! So with this one there's no risk of overheating the arduino?

Read the article in the attached link and you will understand better.
