Form factor (design)
Aspect of design which defines the size, shape, and other physical specifications of hardware / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Form factor is a hardware design aspect that defines and prescribes the size, shape, and other physical specifications of components, particularly in electronics.[1][2] A form factor may represent a broad class of similarly sized components, or it may prescribe a specific standard. It may also define an entire system, as in a computer form factor.
