Twist-Lock Suction Cup Mount with X-Grip® Cradle for Standard Cell Phones
The RAM-B-166-UN7 is a complete phone mounting solution for windshields, helm glass, and smooth non-porous surfaces. The 3.3" twist-lock suction cup base creates a strong, secure hold and releases cleanly without tools. The standard-length double socket arm uses RAM’s 1" rubber ball and socket system, giving you full adjustment at both ends of the arm so you can position your device at the exact viewing angle you need.
The universal spring-loaded X-Grip® cradle uses a four-leg design that grips the phone securely without covering the screen with foam pads or plastic. It expands and contracts to fit a wide range of standard cell phones — no case removal required for most devices. A device tether is included and recommended for outdoor and marine applications where vibration or wave action could dislodge the device.

X-Grip® Cradle Compatibility Dimensions
Measure your device (with case/sleeve if applicable) and confirm it falls within these ranges:

- Maximum width: 3.25" (at minimum height of 2.25")

Best Use Case
The RAM-B-166-UN7 is the right choice for helm stations, windshields, and smooth glass or non-porous surfaces where a suction cup mount is practical, and where a standard-size cell phone is being mounted. The X-Grip cradle fits most standard smartphones without removing the case, making it a convenient everyday mount for navigation apps, chartplotters, and communication. The included tether is important for marine use — always attach it when underway. If you have a large phone or phablet that exceeds 3.25" in width, the UN10 large cradle variant is the correct fit.

Parts Desk Insights
The RAM-B-166-UN7 uses the standard X-Grip cradle (UN7); the large cradle variant is the UN10 (RAM-B-166-UN10). The maximum width of 3.25" fits most standard smartphones but will not accommodate large phones, phablets, or phones in thick rugged cases — customers should measure their device with the case on before ordering. The 1" ball and socket system is RAM’s standard B-size platform, compatible with a wide range of RAM arms, bases, and accessories if the customer wants to swap components later. The suction cup base works on glass and smooth non-porous plastic only — it will not hold reliably on textured, painted, or porous surfaces. The device tether is a critical safety accessory for marine use and should always be recommended at point of sale.
