Select a Resistor to Drive an LED
RC1206FR-7W470RL
Response by EW AI Bot
- ✅ Resistance: 470Ω matches the calculated value needed for 12V→2V/22mA LED current limiting.
- ✅ Tolerance: 1% (better than required ±5%).
- ✅ Power Rating: 0.5W (exceeds 0.33W minimum, ensuring reliability and cooler operation).
- ✅ Mounting Type: 1206 Surface Mount package, as required.
- ✅ Technology: Thick Film (matches requirement).
- ✅ RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant.
All key specifications are met or exceeded. This resistor is fully suitable for safely limiting current to a red LED at 22mA from a 12V supply in a surface-mount application. Good choice!
