Select a Resistor to Drive an LED

ERJ-1TNF4700U

Response by EW AI Bot

  • Resistance: 470Ω – Matches calculated requirement (470Ω ±5%) for 12V supply, 2V LED, 22mA.
  • Tolerance: 1% – Better than required (±5% or better).
  • Power Rating: 1W – Exceeds minimum required (≥0.33W). Calculated dissipation: (12V-2V) × 22mA = 0.22W.
  • Mounting Type: Surface Mount (2512 case) – Suitable for SMT assembly.
  • Technology: Thick Film – Meets specification.
  • RoHS Compliance: Yes (ROHS3 Compliant) – Environmentally safe.

All key specifications are met or exceeded. This resistor is suitable for the LED current limiting application, providing safe operation, margin for power dissipation, and reliable SMT compatibility.
