    Abstract: A service disconnect assembly for an electronic module includes a fuse carrier having a holder configured to hold a fuse for the electronic module, where the fuse carrier has an attachment finger extending from the holder. The attachment finger has a peg. The service disconnect assembly also includes a service disconnect cover having a hood forming a channel, with the hood having a window exposing a portion of the channel. The attachment finger is received in the channel to couple the fuse carrier to the service disconnect cover. The service disconnect cover is slidable with respect to the fuse carrier between an initial position and a final position, wherein the hood moves with respect to the attachment finger as the service disconnect cover is moved between the initial and final positions. The peg is aligned with the window in the final position. A handle is rotatably coupled to the service disconnect cover and the handle has a catch aligned with the window.
