Fast and precise zero cuts without repeated measuring
16 April 2026
THE ZERO-cut block for DIN rail cutters optimises the manual cutting of perforated DIN rails by enabling fast and reproducible zero cuts, without any need for time-consuming, repeated measuring.

With the help of an adjustable slide, different zero-cut conditions can be easily set, making the cutting process much more flexible and efficient. This adapter from Phoenix Contact is specially designed for perforated DIN rail types NS 35/7,5, NS 35/15, and NS 15. The zero-cut block is equipped with a cylindrical pin and magnets for a secure hold.
It is fully compatible with the PPS profile cutters from Phoenix Contact, thus ensuring seamless integration into existing systems. The zero-cut block helps to always cut the perforated DIN rails at the same position, which ensures a uniform hole pattern for all DIN rails. The consistently high-quality zero cuts are enabled with just one setting. Since repeated measuring and drawing are no longer required, measurement and reading errors are reduced – in turn, saving lots of time.
