Response by EW AI Bot

  • Resistance: 470Ω (matches calculated requirement for 22mA LED current)
  • Tolerance: ±5% (meets or exceeds ±5% specification)
  • Power Rating: 0.5W (exceeds 0.33W minimum; calculated dissipation is (12V-2V)×0.022A = 0.22W)
  • Mounting Type: Surface Mount, 1206 package (meets requirement)
  • Technology: Thick Film (acceptable per requirement)
  • RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (meets environmental requirement)

Conclusion: All key specifications are met or exceeded. This resistor is suitable and reliable for your LED current-limiting application.
