PMLN8370A Specifications

Compatible with Motorola APX N30

The Motorola PMLN8370A is designed for the APX N30, providing a straightforward belt-mounted carrying solution for users who want their radio readily accessible.

The APX N30 is part of Motorola's next-generation APX N radio platform. Pairing the radio with the correct Motorola belt clip helps keep it securely positioned while allowing the user to quickly reach the radio when needed.

The 2.5-inch PMLN8370 is especially useful for users who prefer a slightly longer clip than the standard 2.0-inch PMLN8369.

Compatible with Motorola APX N50

The PMLN8370A is also compatible with the Motorola APX N50.

For police officers, first responders, security personnel, utility crews and other professionals carrying an APX N50 during extended shifts, a belt clip provides a convenient way to keep the radio attached without occupying a hand.

The PMLN8370's 2.5-inch fixed design offers additional clip length compared with the PMLN8369.

PMLN8370 vs. PMLN8369 – Which Belt Clip Should You Choose?

The closest alternative to the Motorola PMLN8370A is the Motorola PMLN8369A.

Both belt clips are designed for the APX N30 and APX N50. The primary difference is length.

Choose the PMLN8370A if:

Choose the PMLN8370A when you prefer a longer 2.5-inch belt clip. The additional half-inch of length can provide a more suitable fit depending on your belt, uniform and preferred radio position.

Choose the PMLN8369A if:

Choose the Motorola PMLN8369A Belt Clip when you prefer the shorter 2.0-inch configuration for a more compact carrying setup.

Both are genuine Motorola belt-clip options designed for the APX N30 and APX N50.

Belt Clip vs. Leather Holster

The PMLN8370A provides the simplest method of carrying an APX N30 or APX N50 directly on a belt. However, some users may prefer the additional coverage and carrying characteristics of a leather radio holster.

Motorola PMLN8609A Leather Holster

For users who prefer a traditional leather carry case, consider the Motorola PMLN8609A Leather Holster.

The PMLN8609 is an APX N30/APX N50 hard-leather carrying option designed for compatible radio and battery configurations.

A leather holster can be preferable when you want more of the radio enclosed and protected during everyday carrying.

Motorola PMLN8668A Leather Holster

The Motorola PMLN8668A Leather Holster is another carry option available for compatible APX N30/APX N50 configurations.

Because Motorola leather holsters can be battery-specific, always match the holster to the exact radio and battery combination before ordering.

PMLN8370 Belt Clip vs. Leather Swivel Belt Loop

Another alternative is a leather holster equipped with a swivel belt loop.

Motorola offers multiple belt-loop sizes for compatible APX N30 and APX N50 leather carry cases, including:

• PMLN5407 – 2.5-inch leather swivel belt loop

• PMLN5408 – 2.75-inch leather swivel belt loop

• PMLN5409 – 3-inch leather swivel belt loop

The PMLN8370 is a fixed plastic belt clip, so the radio remains in a consistent position on the belt.

A leather swivel configuration allows the holster and radio to move or rotate as the user changes position.

For users who frequently sit, enter vehicles, climb or move between standing and seated positions, a swivel holster may be worth considering.

For users who prefer a simple, lightweight fixed attachment, the PMLN8370A is the better style of carry solution.

Why Choose the 2.5-Inch PMLN8370?

The biggest advantage of the PMLN8370A over the PMLN8369 is its additional clip length.

The PMLN8370 measures 2.5 inches, compared with 2.0 inches for the PMLN8369.

That extra half-inch may provide a more comfortable or secure carrying position depending on:

• Belt width

• Uniform design

• Duty equipment

• Preferred radio position

• Individual carrying preference

For users who find a shorter clip less convenient, the PMLN8370 provides the longer Motorola-designed alternative without requiring a completely different carrying system.

Designed for Professional APX N Radios

The Motorola APX N30 and APX N50 are designed for demanding professional communications, and using the correct Motorola carry accessory helps maintain a secure and convenient radio setup.

The PMLN8370A is designed specifically around these APX N-series radios, rather than being a generic universal belt clip.

That means users can select the PMLN8370 with confidence when a 2.5-inch fixed belt clip for the APX N30 or APX N50 is required.

Genuine Motorola OEM Accessory

The PMLN8370A is a genuine Motorola Solutions accessory, providing the correct fit and configuration intended for compatible APX N radios.

For public safety agencies and organizations standardizing equipment across multiple users, genuine Motorola carry accessories can also simplify purchasing because the part number corresponds to a defined Motorola radio application.
