TEC 3-inch Losmandy dovetail 305 mm

TEC 3-inch Losmandy dovetail 305 mm

This nominal 12-inch TEC dovetail plate connects a compatible TEC ring assembly to a Losmandy-style saddle. TEC also lists WYO and Casady saddle compatibility.

Ring spacing and safety stops

The plate pairs with the 12-inch TEC carrying handle, keeping the ring spacing matched. Manufacturer-specified 8-32 security screws at the plate ends help prevent the assembly from sliding out of the saddle.

Recommended configuration

TEC recommends this size particularly for APO160FL f/7 and larger. The short plate design keeps the sliding front baffle clear when it is retracted for transport.

Compatibility notes

TEC specifies a nominal 9- or 12-inch model, rather than an independently measured exact 230 or 305 mm length. Plate and carry-handle spacing must match. No load rating or unlisted plate dimensions are inferred.
