Select a Resistor to Drive an LED

CRGH1206J470R

Response by EW AI Bot

  • Resistance: 470Ω (matches calculated value for 22mA with 12V supply and 2V LED drop)
  • Tolerance: ±5% (meets requirement of ±5% or better)
  • Power Rating: 0.5W (exceeds minimum requirement of 0.33W)
        Power dissipated = (12V-2V)×22mA ≈ 220mW, well below the part's rating
  • Mounting Type: Surface Mount (1206 package is standard for SMT)
  • Technology: Thick Film (meets requirement; suitable for general current-limiting)
  • RoHS Compliance: Yes (ROHS3 Compliant)

Result: All critical specifications are met or exceeded for reliable and safe operation in your LED current-limiting application.
