Field-tested 2026-08-13.++## The one thing that unblocked almost everything: present as Google Chrome++Most of these sites sit behind **Cloudflare / Akamai bot walls** that read the browser's+**client-hints brands** (`Sec-CH-UA` / `navigator.userAgentData.brands`). Chrome for Testing's UA+*string* looks like consumer Chrome, but its brand list is `[Not/A)Brand, Chromium]` and omits the+**`Google Chrome`** brand real Chrome carries. The walls flag that omission.++**pup ≥ 2.0.141 adds the `Google Chrome` brand to every tab automatically** (UA header + userAgentData+kept consistent), because this genuinely is the user surfing from their own Windows Chrome — CfT is+only the automation harness. No per-recipe action is needed; it is on for every page.++Measured before vs. after the brand fix (all served "Just a moment…" before; ✓ = loads after):++| Site | Before | After 2.0.141 |+|---|---|---|+| Mouser | walled | ✓ |+| Arrow | walled | ✓ |+| SnapEDA / SnapMagic | walled | ✓ |+| ComponentSearchEngine | walled | ✓ |+| Octopart | walled | ✓ |+| DigiKey | walled | ✓ (clears on the 2nd nav, once challenge cookies are set) |+| UltraLibrarian | already loaded | ✓ |+| TI / ST / ams (mfr-direct) | already loaded | ✓ |++If a site still shows "Just a moment…" / "Verify you are human", it wants an *interaction*, not just+the right brand: reload once, wait ~12s, and (rarely) a real click via `pup_assisted_click`. Never+hammer-reload — that hardens the challenge.++## Downloads need a (free) login on the aggregators — capture it once++UltraLibrarian, SnapEDA, and ComponentSearchEngine render the symbol/footprint/3D preview to+anyone, but the **download** button is gated behind a free account. That is a normal login: sign in+once on the durable `adom-you` profile and pup's vault remembers it, so later downloads are silent.+See the generic flow in this folder's README; nothing site-specific beyond the entry URLs below.++Downloaded files land in the user's Windows Downloads folder.

Gated: shows **"Login to Download"** until signed in.+- **Flow:** search → click the MPN result → expand the CAD format → Download Now. Login-gated.++### SnapEDA / SnapMagic (snapeda.com)+- **Search:** `https://www.snapeda.com/search/?q=<MPN>`+- **Part page:** `https://www.snapeda.com/parts/<MPN>/<Manufacturer>/view-part/` (spaces in the+  manufacturer are `%20`).+- **Download:** part page renders Symbol + Footprint side by side with **"Download Symbol and+  Footprint"** and a separate **"Download Footprint"**, plus **3D Model** / **Simulation Models**+  tabs and **"See Datasheet PDF"**. Downloads need a free login (Log In / Sign Up top-right).+- **Anti-automation:** Cloudflare interstitial before 2.0.141; clears with the Google Chrome brand.++### ComponentSearchEngine (componentsearchengine.com)+- **Search:** `https://componentsearchengine.com/search?term=<MPN>`+- Free CAD models (symbol/footprint/3D) per part; download is account-gated (same free-login+  pattern). Cloudflare-walled before the brand fix.++### Octopart (octopart.com)+- **Search:** `https://octopart.com/search?q=<MPN>` — an aggregator/price-compare, not a CAD-model+  host; use it for distributor availability + datasheet links, then go to a CAD aggregator above for+  the symbol/footprint. Cloudflare-walled before the brand fix.++## Distributors++### DigiKey (digikey.com)+- **Search:** `https://www.digikey.com/en/products/result?keywords=<MPN>`+- **Anti-automation:** the toughest of the set (Akamai). The Google Chrome brand gets past it, but+  the **first** navigation may still land on the interstitial; the **second** navigation (challenge+  cookies now set on the durable profile) loads normally. So: nav, wait, and if walled, nav the same+  URL once more. Datasheet + parametric data + some EDA models per product page.++### Mouser (mouser.com)+- **Search:** `https://www.mouser.com/c/?q=<MPN>` → "Search results for: <MPN>". Loads directly with+  the brand fix. Product pages carry datasheets and (for many parts) ECAD model links.++### Arrow (arrow.com)+- **Search:** `https://www.arrow.com/en/products/search?q=<MPN>`. Loads directly with the brand fix.++## Manufacturer-direct (never walled in testing — go here first for authoritative data)++These served real content even as Chrome for Testing, so they are the most reliable source of+datasheets and simulation models:++- **TI (ti.com):** `https://www.ti.com/product/<PARTNUM>` — datasheet, **PSpice model**, IBIS, and+  "Download" buttons render inline. E.g. `/product/LM358`.+- **STMicroelectronics (st.com):** the product page (e.g.+  `/en/microcontrollers-microprocessors/stm32f103c8.html`) has **"Download datasheet"** and a **"CAD+  Resources"** section (symbol/footprint/3D).+- **ams-OSRAM (ams-osram.com):** product pages have a **"Download center"** with datasheet + models.+- **Vishay (vishay.com):** product/datasheet pages, typically reachable via the part number; datasheet+  PDFs are direct. *(Not exhaustively tested this pass — add specifics when you drive it.)*+- **Panasonic (industrial.panasonic.com):** capacitor/part pages with datasheet + characteristic+  data downloads. *(Add specifics when you drive it.)*++## Recommended play for "get me the part data for `<MPN>`"++1. **Symbol/footprint/3D:** try SnapEDA first (best preview + one-click download), then+   UltraLibrarian or ComponentSearchEngine. All need one free login for the actual download —+   capture it once and pup autofills forever.+2. **Authoritative datasheet + simulation:** go **manufacturer-direct** (TI/ST/ams/Vishay/Panasonic)+   — never walled, no login.+3. **Availability + pricing + cross-distributor:** Octopart, then DigiKey/Mouser/Arrow.+4. Everything rides the durable `adom-you` profile so logins and anti-bot cookies persist; never use+   an isolated window for these (you would re-solve every wall and re-login every time).
