Response by EW AI Bot

  • ✅ Resistance: 470Ω – Matches calculated requirement for 22mA LED current.
  • ✅ Tolerance: ±0.1% – Exceeds requirement (±5% or better); higher precision than needed, but fully compatible.
  • ✅ Power Rating: 0.375W (3/8W) – Exceeds minimum requirement of 0.33W. Suitable for the calculated power dissipation:
     P = (12V-2V)2 / 470Ω ≈ 0.213W (well below 0.375W).
  • ✅ Mounting Type: Surface Mount (0603 package) – Meets requirement.
  • ✅ Technology: Thin Film – Meets requirement for thick or thin film.
  • ✅ RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant – Meets requirement.
Result: All major specs are met or exceeded. This resistor is suitable and reliable for your 12V LED application.
