Differential disconnect system

A differential disconnect system, comprising:

• a rotational axis;
• an outer differential housing comprising a first plurality of radial notches;
• an inner differential housing arranged radially inside of the outer differential housing and comprising a first plurality of axial teeth;
• a clutch plate arranged radially inside of the outer differential housing and axially adjacent to the inner differential housing, the clutch plate comprising:
• a first plurality of radial tabs engaged with the first plurality of radial notches;
• and
• a second plurality of axial teeth arranged to selectively engage the first plurality of axial teeth;
• a clutch spring arranged to urge the clutch plate towards the inner differential housing to engage the second plurality of axial teeth with the first plurality of axial teeth;
• and
• an electromagnet, wherein the clutch plate is urged away from the inner differential housing to disengage the second plurality of axial teeth from the first plurality of axial teeth when the electromagnet is energized.
