Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the CH340B?

Yes. The symbol is EasyEDA_Pro:CH340B and the footprint Package_SO:SOIC-16_3.9x9.9mm_P1.27mm, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

What package is the CH340B?

SOP-16, with 16 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.

Where is the CH340B datasheet?

WCH (Nanjing Qinheng Microelectronics) publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.

Where can I order the CH340B?

JLCPCB lists it as part C81010, with 4,363 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the CH340B?

Parts like it in the library: the CH340C by WCH (Nanjing Qinheng Microelectronics), the CH340G by WCH (Nanjing Qinheng Microelectronics), the SL2.1A by CoreChips and the CH343G by WCH (Nanjing Qinheng Microelectronics). Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.
