Selectable one-way clutch having strut with separate armature

A selectable one-way clutch, comprising:

• a clutch module including a first clutch member and a second clutch member having a plurality of cam surfaces, wherein at least one of said first and second clutch members is adapted to rotate relative to the other of said first and second clutch members;
• an electromagnetic actuator module having a frame and at least one electromagnetic actuator, said frame adapted to be secured to said first clutch member, said electromagnetic actuator including an energizeable coil assembly secured to said frame;
• and
• said electromagnetic actuator module further including a first member pivotably coupled to said frame for pivotal movement relative to said coil assembly between a non-actuated position and an actuated position, a second member mechanically coupled to said first member such that movement of said first member between its non-actuated and actuated position causes concomitant pivotal movement of said second member between a released position displaced from engagement with said cam surfaces on said second clutch member and a locked position in engagement with one of said cam surfaces on said second clutch member, and a biasing member for normally biasing said second member to its released position.
