    Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to a coil module assembly for a bi-directional clutch assembly having at least one active clutch. The coil module assembly includes a housing having an actuator housing portion and a PCB housing portion. An electromagnetic actuator is disposed in the actuator housing portion for effectuating pivotal movement of the active strut from an unlocked position to a locked position in response to an energization of the electromagnetic actuator. An integrated printed circuit board (PCB) is disposed in the PCB housing portion and is in electrical communication with the electromagnetic actuator for selectively energizing the electromagnetic actuator. The housing further includes a thermally decoupled housing portion which is disposed between the actuator housing portion and the PCB housing portion for thermally decoupling, i.e., reducing heat transfer, from the electromagnetic actuator to the PCB during selective energization of the electromagnetic actuator.

    Abstract: A locking pawl arrangement with a motion compliance mechanism for use with various automotive devices having a rotating hub with a plurality of teeth. There is provided a pawl that is moveable between a disengaged position wherein the pawl is not engaged with the rotating hub, an engaged positioned where the pawl is engaged with the hub and an intermediate position that is between the disengaged position and engaged position. A locking cam is in contact with the pawl and moves between a disengaged position, an engaged position, and an intermediate position against the pawl. There is further provided an actuator that is engageable with the locking cam. The actuator moves between a retracted position and an extended position, thereby causing the locking cam to move the pawl between the intermediate position, disengaged position and engaged position.
