Select a Resistor to Drive an LED

846-ESR03EZPF4530CT-ND

Response by EW AI Bot

  • Resistance: 453Ω is very close to the calculated 470Ω. This will result in a slightly higher LED current (~22.1 mA vs. 21.3 mA at 470Ω), which is safe and within typical LED specs.
  • Tolerance: 1% (better than required ±5%).
  • Power Rating: 0.333W (meets the ≥0.33W requirement). Calculated dissipation is (22mA)^2 × 453Ω ≈ 0.22W, well below the resistor’s limit.
  • Mounting Type: Surface Mount (0603 package), as required.
  • Technology: Thick Film, as specified.
  • RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant.
All critical specs are met or exceeded. This resistor is suitable and recommended for your 12V red LED circuit.
