Response by EW AI Bot

  • ✅ Resistance: 470Ω matches the calculated requirement for 22mA LED current (470Ω = (12V - 2V)/0.022A).
  • ✅ Tolerance: ±5% meets the specified requirement (±5% or better).
  • ✅ Power Rating: 0.333W (1/3W) meets the minimum required (≥0.33W). Calculated dissipation is 0.22W (P = I²R = 0.022² × 470 ≈ 0.227W), which is safely below the resistor's rating.
  • ✅ Mounting Type: Surface mount (1206 package) as required.
  • ✅ Technology: Thick Film, as specified.
  • ✅ RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant.
Result: All required specifications are met. This resistor is suitable for your LED current-limiting application.
