Response By EW AI

  • Resistance: 464Ω (Required: 470Ω ±5%)
    Selected value is within the required ±5% tolerance band of 470Ω (Range: 446.5Ω–493.5Ω). This will yield ~21.6mA, which is suitable for the LED's desired 22mA.
  • Tolerance: ±1% (Required: ±5% or better)
    This is better than required, offering tighter control over current.
  • Power Rating: 0.333W (Required: ≥0.33W)
    Matches the requirement exactly. Power dissipation at max current is about 0.21W, so the resistor will run cool and reliably.
  • Mounting Type: Surface Mount 0805
    Fully meets the surface-mount requirement.
  • Technology: Thick Film
    Matches the specification for thick or thin film.
  • RoHS Compliance: RoHS3 Compliant
    Meets the environmental requirement.

Conclusion: All required specifications are met or exceeded. The selected part is well-suited for the application.
