Select a Resistor to Drive an LED

PCR1206-470RJ1

Response by EW AI Bot

  • Resistance: 470Ω ±5% (meets the calculated value for 22mA LED current)
  • Tolerance: ±5% (meets or exceeds the required tolerance)
  • Power Rating: 0.333W (1/3W) (meets the required rating of ≥0.33W, calculated dissipation is only 0.22W, so there is adequate headroom for reliability)
  • Mounting Type: Surface Mount 1206 (satisfies the SMD mounting requirement)
  • Technology: Thick Film (meets the requirement for Thick or Thin Film)
  • RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (meets environmental requirements)
  • Pulse Withstanding: Additional benefit for durability in transient conditions

Conclusion: All key specifications match or exceed requirements. This resistor is well-suited for use as an LED current limiter in your 12V indicator circuit.
