Motorola PMLN8311A 1-Wire Swivel Earhook with Inline PTT
Genuine OEM 1-wire C-ring swivel earhook with in-line PTT and mic for Motorola ultra-slim commercial portables. 2.5mm angled single-pin connector.
The Motorola PMLN8311A is a genuine OEM 1-wire swivel earhook designed for Motorola ultra-slim commercial portable radios. It routes audio directly to the ear via a lightweight single wire, keeping radio operations discreet for customer-facing teams in hospitality, retail, and warehouse environments. The universal C-ring swivel loop adjusts for left or right ear wear, and the in-line PTT module provides quick push-to-talk access without removing the radio from a belt clip or holster. The PMLN8311A replaces the earlier PMLN8311 and uses a 2.5mm angled single-pin connector compatible with select Motorola slim commercial series radios.
