Select a Resistor to Drive an LED
RTAN1206BKE470R
Response by EW AI Bot
- ✅ Resistance: 470Ω (meets the calculated value for 12V supply, 2V LED drop, 22mA target current)
- ✅ Tolerance: ±0.1% (much tighter than the required ±5%, ensuring stable, precise current)
- ✅ Power Rating: 0.4W (2/5W) (exceeds the required minimum of 0.33W; calculated dissipation for this circuit is ~0.22W, so this is safe)
- ✅ Mounting Type: Surface Mount 1206 package (meets requirement)
- ✅ Technology: Thin Film (meets requirement of thick or thin film)
- ✅ RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (meets requirement)
All required specifications are met or exceeded. This resistor is well-suited for reliable LED current limiting in your 12V indicator circuit.
