Response By EW AI

  • Resistance Value: 470Ω matches the calculated requirement for 22mA LED current from a 12V supply (with 2V LED drop).
  • Tolerance: ±5% meets the specification (±5% or better).
  • Power Rating: 0.333W (1/3W) exactly meets the minimum required (≥0.33W).
    At 22mA, actual dissipation is (12V–2V)×0.022A ≈ 0.22W, so this is safe.
  • Mounting: Surface Mount 0603 package is suitable.
  • Technology: Thick Film – compliant.
  • RoHS: ROHS3 Compliant.
Summary:
All key specifications are matched. This resistor is fully suitable for your LED current limiting application.
