Overview
The BC237 is a bipolar made by Jiangsu Changjing Electronics Technology (CJ) in a TO-92 package with 3 pins. -55℃~+150℃ 1 NPN 150MHz 15nA 350mW 45V 5A 6V 800mV 90 NPN TO-92 Bipolar (BJT) ROHS.
PCBKit's library has its KiCad symbol (Transistor_BJT:BC237, from KiCad's library) and its footprint (Package_TO_SOT_THT:TO-92_Inline, from KiCad's library), ready for a KiCad board. 19 are in stock at JLCPCB (part C3034831). 33 open-source boards in 28 repositories on GitHub use it.

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the BC237?
Yes. The symbol is Transistor_BJT:BC237 and the footprint Package_TO_SOT_THT:TO-92_Inline, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.
What package is the BC237?
TO-92, with 3 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.
Where is the BC237 datasheet?
Jiangsu Changjing Electronics Technology (CJ) publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.
Where can I order the BC237?
JLCPCB lists it as part C3034831, with 19 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.
What can replace the BC237?
Parts like it in the library: the BC557 by Jiangsu Changjing Electronics Technology (CJ), the BC327-40 by DIOTEC, the BC337-40 by DIOTEC and the BC337-40BK by DIOTEC. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.
Which open-source boards use the BC237?
33 boards in 28 repositories on GitHub; the most starred are listed on this page, with their KiCad files.
