PMLN8508 vs. PMLN8507 – Which Belt Clip Do I Need?

The closest alternative to the Motorola PMLN8508A is the Motorola PMLN8507A.

The primary difference is belt-clip length.

Both belt clips are listed by Motorola as attachment options for compatible APX N70 carry accessories.

Choose the PMLN8508A if:

You prefer a longer 3-inch belt clip, particularly when the additional clip length provides a better fit for your belt, uniform or carrying preference.

Choose the PMLN8507A if:

You prefer a shorter 2.5-inch belt clip and a slightly more compact carrying configuration.

You can compare both options in the Motorola APX N70 Radio Holsters and Carry Accessories section.

PMLN8508A vs. Other APX N70 Carry Options

The PMLN8508A is a belt clip, not a complete holster. Depending on how you want to carry your APX N70, Battery Distributors offers several additional carrying options.

Motorola PMLN8371A Plastic Carry Holster

The Motorola PMLN8371A is the most direct companion product for the PMLN8508A.

It is a hard-plastic APX N70 holster that accepts the PMLN8508 3-inch belt clip or PMLN8507 2.5-inch belt clip.

Choose this combination when you want a durable, straightforward belt-mounted APX N70 carry system.

Motorola PMLN8372A Hybrid Holster

The PMLN8372 is a plastic/leather hybrid APX N70 holster designed for configurations using the PMNN4816 battery. Motorola lists the PMLN8508 as one of the available belt attachments for this holster.

Motorola PMLN8374 Hybrid Holster

For APX N70 configurations using the PMNN4818 battery, Motorola lists the PMLN8374 hybrid holster. The PMLN8508 3-inch belt clip is also listed as an attachment option.

Browse these and other options in the APX N70 Radio Holsters category.

Why Choose the 3-Inch PMLN8508 Belt Clip?

The extra length of the PMLN8508A 3-inch belt clip can be beneficial for users wearing thicker work belts, uniforms or equipment configurations where a longer clip provides a more suitable carrying position.

For police officers, firefighters, utility crews and other field professionals, having the radio securely attached while still readily accessible can make everyday operation more convenient.

The PMLN8508 allows the APX N70 holster to remain securely positioned while keeping the user's hands available for other tasks.

Genuine Motorola Replacement Accessory

The PMLN8508A is a genuine Motorola Solutions accessory designed specifically for compatible Motorola carry systems.

Using the correct Motorola belt clip helps ensure proper fit with the intended holster and eliminates the uncertainty that can come from attempting to use a generic clip with professional radio equipment.
