Hello @Apex4446,
To summarize, you are looking to switch a 5 A inductive load (coil) operating at 24 VDC. You desire a simple to use interface between the microcontroller and the coil.
One more question, is turn on and off speed important to you?
Assuming no, I recommend using an interposing relay. This technique uses a small control relay as in intermediary between the microcontroller and larger load. Another possibility is a solid-state relay.
Best wishes,
