Motorola PMLN5409A Swivel Belt Loop 3": PMLN5409

Motorola PMLN5409A 3" Swivel Belt Loop for APX Radio Carry Cases

The Motorola PMLN5409A 3-inch swivel belt loop lets your radio swing freely from side to side while staying securely attached to your belt. That makes it easier to sit, bend, drive, and move through a long shift without your radio digging in or getting in the way.

Built for law enforcement, fire and rescue, EMS, security, utilities, and industrial crews, the PMLN5409A is the swivel alternative to Motorola's fixed belt clips, such as the PMLN8508A 3-inch belt clip.

Swivel Belt Loop or Belt Clip?

• Swivel belt loop (PMLN5409A): The radio pivots as you move, which is comfortable if you're seated often or in and out of a vehicle.
• PMLN8508A 3-Inch Belt Clip: A spring-action clip for quick on-and-off carry, in the same 3-inch length.
• PMLN8507A 2.5-Inch Belt Clip: A shorter clip for a more compact carry.
• PMLN8371A Classic Holster: The APX N70 hard-plastic holster. It uses belt clips, so choose a clip for it rather than a swivel loop.

If you're not sure which size fits your belt, the PMLN5407 (2.5") and PMLN5408 (2.75") swivel loops are the shorter options in the same family.

Why Choose the PMLN5409A?

A swivel belt loop reduces strain on your belt line and keeps the radio from pressing into your side when you sit or twist. The 3-inch size suits thicker duty belts. Using the correct Motorola belt loop means a proper fit with your carry case, with no guesswork from generic parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Motorola PMLN5409A?

It is a 3-inch swivel belt loop that attaches to compatible Motorola carry cases and lets the radio swing freely from side to side.

Is PMLN5409 the same as PMLN5409A?

PMLN5409 is the base Motorola part number and PMLN5409A is the current revision. Both numbers are commonly used when searching for this accessory.

Does the PMLN5409A fit the APX N70?

Yes, with the APX N70 hybrid carry cases (PMLN8372, PMLN8373, and PMLN8374), which list it as a swivel belt loop option. The classic PMLN8371 holster uses belt clips instead.

Does the PMLN5409A include a carry case?

No. It is the belt loop only. The radio, battery, and carry case are sold separately.

What is the difference between a swivel belt loop and a belt clip?

A swivel loop lets the radio pivot freely as you move. A belt clip, like the PMLN8508A, holds the radio in a fixed position and is quick to attach and remove.
