  • ✅ Resistance: 470Ω matches the calculated requirement exactly.
  • ✅ Tolerance: ±0.1% is much better than the required ±5%.
  • ✅ Power Rating: 0.375W (3/8W) exceeds the minimum required 0.33W.
    (Power dissipated = (12V-2V)^2 / 470Ω ≈ 0.21W, so this is safe.)
  • ✅ Mounting Type: 0603 Surface Mount package is appropriate for SMT assembly.
  • ✅ Technology: Thin Film as required.
  • ✅ RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant.
Conclusion: All key specifications meet or exceed requirements. This resistor is a suitable and reliable choice for limiting current to a red LED in your 12V indicator circuit.
