Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the BD242B?

Yes. the footprint EasyEDA_Cloud:TO-220-3_L10.0-W4.5-P2.54-L-1, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

What package is the BD242B?

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

Where is the BD242B datasheet?

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

Where can I order the BD242B?

JLCPCB lists it as part C5456156, with 543 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the BD242B?

Parts like it in the library: the BU406 by SPTECH, the TIP32C by onsemi, the D45VH10 by onsemi and the ST13005 by STMicroelectronics. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.
