A wheel-end disconnect assembly for translating rotational torque between an output shaft and a wheel hub of a vehicle driveline. A knuckle bracket at least partially supports the wheel hub. A clutch is operatively attached to the knuckle bracket, is disposed in selective torque translating relationship between the output shaft and the wheel hub, and is movable between: an engaged configuration wherein torque is translated between the output shaft and the wheel hub, and a disengaged configuration wherein torque is interrupted. An electromagnetic actuator is provided and has a slider selectively movable between a first stable position and a second stable position. The actuator is disposed in force translating relationship with the clutch such that movement from one stable position to the other stable position causes corresponding movement of the clutch between the configurations so as to selectively translate rotational torque between the output shaft and the wheel hub.
