Response By EW AI

  • Resistance: 470Ω — Matches calculated value for 22mA at 12V - 2V drop across the LED.
  • Tolerance: ±5% — Meets requirement (±5% or better).
  • Power Rating: 0.5W — Exceeds minimum requirement of ≥0.33W.
    Power dissipated = (10V * 0.022A) = 0.22W. 0.5W rating offers robust safety margin.
  • Mounting Type: 1206 Surface Mount — Suitable for PCB assembly as required.
  • Technology: Thick Film — Acceptable (Thick Film or Thin Film specified).
  • RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant — Meets environmental requirements.

Conclusion: All key specifications are met or exceeded. This resistor is a reliable and appropriate choice for the application.
