Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The complementary NPN transistor to the BD229 is the BD228.The BCP52 (SOT-223) is the SMD version of the BD229 transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the BD229 with the BD138, BD138G, BD140, BD140G, BD168, BD170, BD178, BD180, BD180G, BD190, BD231, BD236, BD236G, BD238, BD238G, BD378, BD380, BD788, BD788G, BD790, BD792, MJE235, MJE252, MJE254, MJE711 or MJE712.
