Why Professionals Choose the Icom Belt Clip MB-98
A broken or missing belt clip on an IC-F50 or IC-M88 means the radio goes into a pocket, a bag, or gets set down - none of which keep it accessible when the operator needs both hands free. Security personnel, marine crew, and facility technicians carrying the IC-M88 or IC-F50 on a shift need the radio clipped and available without reaching for it. The MB-98 restores that carry position.
The alligator jaw design holds belt widths typical of duty belts and standard work trousers without requiring a dedicated holster. The spring-loaded hinge keeps tension consistent across the clip's service life — a weak spring is the primary failure mode on aftermarket clips that use thinner steel or lower-temper spring wire. The screw-mount attachment to the battery back keeps the clip seated under lateral load, which matters when the radio is drawn quickly or the clip snags on equipment.
The MB-98 fits the IC-F50, IC-F60, IC-F50V, IC-F60V, IC-M87, and IC-M88 battery profile specifically. A clip from a different Icom series will not align the screw holes correctly, leaving the radio loose on the belt — a common outcome when operators substitute a clip from a different radio generation. The MB-98 is the original Icom part, matched to the battery housing dimensions of this radio family.

Contact our team to verify compatibility for any model not listed here before ordering.
Does the MB-98 require screws for installation, and are they included?
The MB-98 attaches to the radio battery via screw mount. Screws are typically included with the OEM clip — confirm when ordering as kit contents can vary by production batch. If the original screws are missing from the radio, standard M3 screws of the correct length will seat the clip. Contact our team if you need clarification on screw size for your specific radio model.
