Response by EW AI Bot

  • Resistance: 470Ω (matches calculated requirement for 22mA at 12V–2V drop across LED)
  • Tolerance: ±1% (better than required ±5%)
  • Power Rating: 0.333W (meets the ≥0.33W requirement; calculated dissipation is 0.22W, so this is sufficient)
  • Mounting Type: Surface Mount (0603 package, matches requirement)
  • Technology: Thick Film (meets requirement for Thick Film or Thin Film)
  • RoHS Compliance: Yes (ROHS3 Compliant)

Summary: All key specifications are met or exceeded. This resistor (Panasonic ERJ-PA3F4700V) is suitable and reliable for your LED current-limiting application.
