Overview
The BC338 is a bipolar made by DDF in a TO-92 package with 3 pins. 1 NPN 100MHz 25V 5V 625mW 630 700mV 800mA NPN TO-92 Bipolar (BJT) ROHS.
PCBKit's library has its KiCad symbol (Transistor_BJT:BC338, from KiCad's library) and its footprint (Package_TO_SOT_THT:TO-92_Inline, from KiCad's library), ready for a KiCad board. 808 are in stock at JLCPCB (part C50229583). 13 open-source boards in 10 repositories on GitHub use it.

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the BC338?
Yes. The symbol is Transistor_BJT:BC338 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 BC338?
TO-92, with 3 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.
Where is the BC338 datasheet?
DDF publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.
Where can I order the BC338?
JLCPCB lists it as part C50229583, with 808 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.
What can replace the BC338?
Parts like it in the library: the PN2222ABU by onsemi, the S8550D331 by ALJ, the BC337-25 by LGE and the BC337 by Foshan Blue Rocket Elec. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.
Which open-source boards use the BC338?
13 boards in 10 repositories on GitHub; the most starred are listed on this page, with their KiCad files.
