A driveline component for a vehicle, comprising: an input shaft rotated about an axis ; a disconnect shaft selectively rotated by the input shaft ; an output shaft coupled to the disconnect shaft to rotate when the disconnect shaft rotates; and a disconnect device that selectively couples together the input shaft and the disconnect shaft so that the output shaft is selectively rotated, the disconnect device includes a connection feature that is movable between an engaged position in which the input shaft and disconnect shaft are coupled and a disengaged position in which the input shaft rotates relative to the disconnect shaft , the disconnect device includes an actuator that causes movement of the connection feature from at least one of the engaged position and the disengaged position to the other of the engaged position or disengaged position, and the disconnect device includes a retention feature that releasably retains the connection feature in at least one of the engaged position or disengaged position, wherein the actuator includes a drive, a cam driven by the drive and a follower responsive to at least some movement of the cam , and wherein the retention feature includes a retainer that selectively engages the follower to at least inhibit movement of the follower and retain the connection feature in either its engaged position or disengaged position characterized in that the cam includes an axially varied cam surface and the follower includes an axially varied cam surface that is out of phase with the cam surface of the cam so that axially movement of the cam toward the follower axially displaces and rotates the follower . an input shaft rotated about an axis ; a disconnect shaft selectively rotated by the input shaft ; an output shaft coupled to the disconnect shaft to rotate when the disconnect shaft rotates; and a disconnect device that selectively couples together the input shaft and the disconnect shaft so that the output shaft is selectively rotated, the disconnect device includes a connection feature that is movable between an engaged position in which the input shaft and disconnect shaft are coupled and a disengaged position in which the input shaft rotates relative to the disconnect shaft , the disconnect device includes an actuator that causes movement of the connection feature from at least one of the engaged position and the disengaged position to the other of the engaged position or disengaged position, and the disconnect device includes a retention feature that releasably retains the connection feature in at least one of the engaged position or disengaged position, wherein the actuator includes a drive, a cam driven by the drive and a follower responsive to at least some movement of the cam , and wherein the retention feature includes a retainer that selectively engages the follower to at least inhibit movement of the follower and retain the connection feature in either its engaged position or disengaged position characterized in that the cam includes an axially varied cam surface and the follower includes an axially varied cam surface that is out of phase with the cam surface of the cam so that axially movement of the cam toward the follower axially displaces and rotates the follower . <EOS>
