Response By EW AI

  • 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.
