Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the BD243?

Yes. The symbol is Pinmap_Generic:Q_NPN_1B_2C_3E and the footprint EasyEDA_Cloud:TO-220-3_L10.2-W4.5-P2.54-L, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

What package is the BD243?

TO-220C, with 3 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.

Where is the BD243 datasheet?

SPTECH publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.

Where can I order the BD243?

JLCPCB lists it as part C2907740, with 85 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the BD243?

Parts like it in the library: the BD243C by SPTECH, the BD244 by SPTECH, the BU931T by STMicroelectronics and the MJE13007 by SPTECH. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.
