Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the NTE256?
Yes. the footprint EasyEDA_Cloud:TO-218-3_L15.0-W4.8-P5.50-L, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.
What package is the NTE256?
TO-218, with 3 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.
Where is the NTE256 datasheet?
NTE Electronics publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.
Where can I order the NTE256?
JLCPCB lists it as part C7015840, with 0 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.
What can replace the NTE256?
Parts like it in the library: the TIP140 by onsemi. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.
