Does this relay do the job?

I am quite new to electronics, but learning quickly. For my next project I want to control a stepper motor (12V DC, 1.5A) via Bluetooth. Because the stepper motor would always draw current (to maintain its position) also when it is not used, it would not be energy efficient to power it 24 hours a day. That is why i want to be able to switch it on and off with the 5V from an arduino. I think that this (dutch website, but I think the image says enough) relay would do the job (as the image says it can handle at least 28V DC). I want to be sure about this, so can anyone tell me whether this relay does what I assume it does?

To summarize: I want to control the stepper circuit with 5V. The stepper circuit runs on 12V and 1.5A.

Thanks in advance!
