5. Select a Resistor to Drive an LED

• ✅ Resistance: 470Ω (required: 470Ω ±5%) — Correct value for safe current limiting and LED brightness.
• ✅ Tolerance: ±1% (required: ±5% or better) — Even tighter than required, ensures consistent LED current.
• ✅ Power Rating: 0.5W, 1/2W (required: ≥0.33W) — Exceeds minimum, safe for dissipation (~0.22W expected, good margin).
• ✅ Mounting Type: Surface Mount (1210 package) — Matches requirement.
• ✅ Technology: Thick Film — Meets criteria.
• ✅ RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant — Environmentally friendly as required.

Result: All requirements met or exceeded. This resistor is a suitable, reliable choice for your LED current limiting application.
