Select a Resistor to Drive an LED

RMCF1210JT470RCT-ND

Response by EW AI Bot

  • Resistance: 470Ω matches the calculated value for 12V supply, 2V LED VF, and 22mA IF. (R = (12V-2V)/0.022A ≈ 455Ω; 470Ω is the standard value closest to this.)
  • Tolerance: ±5% meets the requirement of ±5% or better.
  • Power Rating: 0.5W exceeds the minimum required 0.33W. Calculated dissipation is (0.022A)^2 × 470Ω ≈ 0.227W, so 0.5W provides a good safety margin.
  • Mounting Type: 1210 package is surface mount, as required.
  • Technology: Thick Film matches specification.
  • RoHS Compliance: Listed as "ROHS3 Compliant".

Result: All requirements met; this resistor is approved for your LED indicator design.
