Response By EW AI

  • Resistance: 470Ω matches the calculated value (470Ω ±5%) for 22mA through a 2V LED on 12V supply.
  • Tolerance: 1% (better than required ±5%).
  • Power Rating: 0.5W (above the minimum required 0.33W). Calculated dissipation is (10V × 22mA) = 0.22W, which is well within the rating.
  • Mounting Type: 1210 package is surface-mount, as required.
  • Technology: Thick film construction is acceptable.
  • RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant.

Result: All specifications are met or exceeded. This resistor is suitable for your LED current-limiting application and will ensure brightness, reliability, and safe operation.
