Select a Resistor to Drive an LED

13-RC1206FR-7W470RLDKR-ND

Response by EW AI Bot

  • Resistance: 470Ω (meets the calculated value for 22mA LED current from 12V supply)
  • Tolerance: ±1% (better than required ±5% — suitable for LED current control)
  • Power Rating: 0.5W (exceeds the minimum required 0.33W; calculated dissipation is 0.22W, so this is safe and reliable)
  • Mounting Type: Surface Mount 1206 (matches "Surface Mount" requirement and is a common, reliable package)
  • Technology: Thick Film (meets requirement)
  • RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (meets requirement)

Conclusion: All requirements are met or exceeded. This resistor is approved for use in your LED current limiting application.
