A 470 Ohm resistor is a widely used current-limiting value for LEDs. On a 12V supply with a typical LED forward voltage of ~2V, a 470R resistor limits current to approximately 21mA — right in the ideal range for most standard 5mm LEDs. This pack is perfect for exactly that purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: What is the difference between 1% and 5% tolerance resistors?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Tolerance indicates how close the actual resistance is to the stated value. A ±1% tolerance means the resistor's true value will be within 1% of 470 Ohm, giving you more precise and consistent circuit behavior compared to ±5% components — especially important in LED brightness matching and precision signal circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Can these resistors be used on a breadboard or soldered to a PCB?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Absolutely. These are standard through-hole \/ direct-insertion axial resistors with wire leads, making them fully compatible with breadboards for prototyping as well as through-hole PCB soldering. They are also compatible with automated PCB insertion equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: How many resistors come in the pack and is there sufficient quantity for a large project?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Each pack contains 500 pieces of 470 Ohm resistors, making it an excellent value for large LED installations, classroom electronics projects, production runs, or simply keeping a well-stocked component drawer for ongoing DIY work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\", \"@type\": \"FAQPage\", \"mainEntity\": [{\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Are these 470 Ohm resistors suitable for limiting current to standard 5mm LEDs on a 12V circuit?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Yes!
