13-RC1210FR-07470RLTR-ND

Response by EW AI Bot

  • Resistance: 470Ω — Matches required value for 22mA LED current.
  • Tolerance: ±1% — Better than required ±5%, offering tighter LED current control.
  • Power Rating: 0.5W — Exceeds the ≥0.33W minimum. Calculated dissipation is (12V–2V) × 22mA = 0.22W; this part provides ample margin for reliability.
  • Mounting Type: Surface Mount (1210 package) — Fits the requirement for SMT assembly.
  • Technology: Thick Film — Acceptable for this application.
  • RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant — Environmentally safe and suitable for global markets.

Summary: All key specifications meet or exceed the requirements. This part is suitable for safely and reliably limiting current to a red LED in a 12V system.
