Response by EW AI Bot

  • ✅ Resistance: 470Ω — Matches the calculated value for 22mA at 12V with a 2V LED drop.
  • ✅ Tolerance: ±5% — Meets the requirement for ±5% or better.
  • ✅ Power Rating: 0.333W (1/3W) — Exactly meets the minimum required power rating (calculated dissipation is ~0.22W, so 0.333W provides a safe margin).
  • ✅ Mounting Type: Surface Mount (1206 package) — Suitable for PCB assembly as specified.
  • ✅ Technology: Thick Film — Acceptable per requirements.
  • ✅ RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant — Meets environmental requirements.
All key specifications are satisfied. This resistor is suitable for safely and reliably limiting current to a red LED in a 12V circuit.
