RMCF1210JT470RCT-ND

Response by EW AI Bot

  • Resistance: 470Ω – Matches required value for 22mA @ 12V-2V (10V/0.022A = 454.5Ω, use next standard value up = 470Ω).
  • Tolerance: ±5% – Meets specified tolerance.
  • Power Rating: 0.5W (1/2W) – Exceeds minimum requirement of 0.33W.
    Power dissipated: (0.022A)2 × 470Ω ≈ 0.23W, so 0.5W is a safe margin.
  • Mounting Type: Surface Mount (1210 package) – Correct as per requirements.
  • Technology: Thick Film – Acceptable for this application.
  • RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant – Satisfies environmental requirements.

Result: All specifications are met or exceeded.
Part RMCF1210JT470R is approved for use as an LED current limiting resistor in this design.
