Response by EW AI Bot

  • ✅ Resistance: 470Ω (matches calculated requirement of 470Ω for 22mA LED current at 12V supply)
  • ✅ Tolerance: ±1% (better than required ±5%, ensuring even more precise current control)
  • ✅ Power Rating: 0.5W (exceeds minimum required 0.33W, and calculated actual dissipation is ~0.22W — well within safe limits)
  • ✅ Mounting Type: Surface Mount (1210 size is well-suited for PCB assembly)
  • ✅ Technology: Thick Film (matches requirement)
  • ✅ RoHS Compliance: Yes (ROHS3 Compliant)
Conclusion: All requirements are met or exceeded. This is a very suitable choice for your LED current limiting application.
