Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The complementary NPN transistor to the BD242C is the BD241C.The BDP954 (SOT-223) and BDP956 (SOT-223) is the SMD version of the BD242C transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the BD242C with the 2N6042, 2N6042G, 2SA1010, 2SA1010K, 2SA1010L, 2SA1010M, 2SA1077, 2SB1016, 2SB1016-O, 2SB1016-R, 2SB1016-Y, 2SB1016A, 2SB1016A-O, 2SB1016A-Y, 2SB1020, 2SB1020A, 2SB1090, 2SB1090-K, 2SB1090-L, 2SB1090-M, 2SB1226, 2SB1227, 2SB1228, 2SB1252, 2SB1252-P, 2SB1252-Q, 2SB1367, 2SB1367-O, 2SB1367-R, 2SB1367-Y, 2SB1481, 2SB1626, 2SB1626-O, 2SB1626-P, 2SB1626-Y, 2SB595, 2SB595-O, 2SB595-R, 2SB595-Y, 2SB601, 2SB601-K, 2SB601-L, 2SB601-M, 2SB673, 2SB703A, 2SB703A-Q, 2SB703A-R, 2SB703A-S, 2SB884, 2SB885, 2SB886, 2SB995, 2SB995-O, 2SB995-R, 2SB995-Y, BD244C, BD540C, BD544C, BD546C, BD650, BD652, BD802, BD902, BD940, BD940F, BD942, BD942F, BD954, BD956, BDT60B, BDT60C, BDT62B, BDT62C, BDT64B, BDT64C, BDT86, BDT86F, BDT88, BDT88F, BDW24C, BDW47, BDW47G, BDW48, BDW54C, BDW54D, BDW64C, BDW64D, BDW74C, BDW74D, BDW94C, BDW94CF, BDX34C, BDX34CG, BDX34D, BDX54C, BDX54CG, BDX54D, BDX54E, BDX54F, KSA1010, KSA1010O, KSA1010R, KSA1010Y, KTA1038, KTA1038-O, KTA1038-Y, KTA1049, KTA1049O, KTA1049Y, KTB1367, KTB1367O, KTB1367R, KTB1367Y, MJE15029, MJE15029G, MJE15031, MJE15031G, MJF127, MJF127G, MJF15031, MJF15031G, MJF6668, MJF6668G, TIP107, TIP107G, TIP127, TIP127G, TIP137, TIP137G, TIP147T or TTB1020B.
