Select a Resistor to Drive an LED

PCR1206-470RJ1

Response by EW AI Bot

  • Resistance: 470Ω matches the calculated value (470Ω for 22mA with 12V-2V across resistor).
  • Tolerance: ±5% meets or exceeds requirement (±5% or better).
  • Power Rating: 0.333W (1/3W) meets the minimum required (≥0.33W). Calculated dissipation is (12V-2V)×0.022A = 0.22W, leaving adequate margin for reliability.
  • Mounting Type: Surface Mount (1206 package) is suitable for the design requirement.
  • Technology: Thick Film type, as specified.
  • RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant per DigiKey listing.

All required specifications are satisfied for safe, reliable LED operation in this application.
