Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the B540C?

Yes. The symbol is Device:D_Schottky and the footprint Diode_SMD:D_SMC, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

What package is the B540C?

SMC(DO-214AB), with 2 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.

Where is the B540C datasheet?

Diodes Incorporated publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.

Where can I order the B540C?

JLCPCB lists it as part C72264, with 87,207 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the B540C?

Parts like it in the library: the SS56C by MDD, the SS54 by TWGMC, the SK86C by MDD and the B560C by FUXINSEMI. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.

Which open-source boards use the B540C?

13 boards in 10 repositories on GitHub; the most starred are listed on this page, with their KiCad files.
