Response by EW AI Bot

  • ✅ Resistance: 470Ω — Matches calculated value for 22mA with 12V supply and 2V LED drop.
  • ✅ Tolerance: ±5% — Meets requirement of ±5% or better.
  • ✅ Power Rating: 0.5W (1/2W) — Exceeds minimum required 0.33W.
    Why it matters: Dissipation is (12V-2V)*22mA ≈ 0.22W, so 0.5W provides a safe margin for reliability.
  • ✅ Mounting Type: Surface Mount (0805) — Matches requirement for SMT.
  • ✅ Technology: Thick Film — Meets criterion of Thick Film or Thin Film.
  • ✅ RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant — Environmentally compliant as required.
Summary: All required specifications are met or exceeded. This is a suitable, reliable choice for LED current limiting in your application.
