Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The complementary PNP transistor to the BD243 is the BD244.The 2STF1550 (SOT-89), 2STN1550 (SOT-223), BDP947 (SOT-223) and FZT690B (SOT-223) is the SMD version of the BD243 transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the BD243 with the 2N6043, 2N6043G, 2N6044, 2N6044G, 2N6290, 2N6290G, 2N6291, 2N6292, 2N6292G, 2N6293, 2N6387, 2N6387G, 2N6388, 2N6388G, 2N6530, 2SC1985, 2SC1986, 2SC2315, 2SC2316, 2SC3254, 2SC3254-Q, 2SC3254-R, 2SC3254-S, 2SC3255, 2SC3255-Q, 2SC3255-R, 2SC3255-S, 2SC3345, 2SC3345-O, 2SC3345-Y, 2SC3346, 2SC3346-O, 2SC3346-Y, 2SC3709, 2SC3709-O, 2SC3709-Y, 2SC3709A, 2SC3709A-O, 2SC3709A-Y, 2SC3710, 2SC3710-O, 2SC3710-Y, 2SC3710A, 2SC3710A-O, 2SC3710A-Y, 2SC3747, 2SC3747-Q, 2SC3747-R, 2SC3747-S, 2SC3748, 2SC3748-Q, 2SC3748-R, 2SC3748-S, 2SC4511, 2SC4511-O, 2SC4511-P, 2SC4511-Y, 2SC4512, 2SC4512-O, 2SC4512-P, 2SC4512-Y, 2SC4550, 2SC4550-K, 2SC4550-L, 2SC4550-M, 2SC4551, 2SC4551-K, 2SC4551-L, 2SC4551-M, 2SC4552, 2SC4552-K, 2SC4552-L, 2SC4552-M, 2SD1061, 2SD1061-Q, 2SD1061-R, 2SD1061-S, 2SD1062, 2SD1062-Q, 2SD1062-R, 2SD1062-S, 2SD1158, 2SD1191, 2SD1192, 2SD1271, 2SD1271-P, 2SD1271-Q, 2SD1271-R, 2SD1277, 2SD1277-P, 2SD1277-Q, 2SD1277A, 2SD1277A-P, 2SD1277A-Q, 2SD1362, 2SD1362-O, 2SD1362-Y, 2SD1363, 2SD1363-O, 2SD1363-Y, 2SD1411, 2SD1411-O, 2SD1411-Y, 2SD1411A, 2SD1411A-O, 2SD1411A-Y, 2SD1412, 2SD1412-O, 2SD1412-Y, 2SD1588, 2SD1588-K, 2SD1588-L, 2SD1588-M, 2SD1668, 2SD1668-Q, 2SD1668-R, 2SD1668-S, 2SD1669, 2SD1669-Q, 2SD1669-R, 2SD1669-S, 2SD1826, 2SD1827, 2SD553, 2SD553-O, 2SD553-Y, 2SD568, 2SD568-K, 2SD568-L, 2SD568-M, 2SD569, 2SD569-K, 2SD569-L, 2SD569-M, 2SD613, 2SD613-C, 2SD613-D, 2SD613-E, 2SD613-F, 2SD634, 2SD635, 2SD866, 2SD866-P, 2SD866-Q, 2SD866-R, BD201, BD203, BD243A, BD243B, BD301, BD303, BD533, BD533J, BD533K, BD535, BD535J, BD535K, BD537, BD537J, BD537K, BD543A, BD543B, BD545A, BD545B, BD643, BD645, BD647, BD795, BD797, BD799, BD807, BD809, BD895, BD895A, BD897, BD897A, BD899, BD899A, BDT63, BDT63A, BDT65, BDT65A, BDT81, BDT81F, BDT83, BDT83F, BDW23, BDW23A, BDW23B, BDW39, BDW40, BDW41, BDW41G, BDW63, BDW63A, BDW63B, BDW73, BDW73A, BDW73B, BDW93, BDW93A, BDW93B, BDX33, BDX33A, BDX33B, BDX33BG, BDX53, BDX53A, BDX53B, BDX53BG, BDX77, D44H11, D44H11FP, D44H8, KSD1588, KSD1588-O, KSD1588-R, KSD1588-Y, KSD568, KSD568-O, KSD568-R, KSD568-Y, KSD569, KSD569-O, KSD569-R, KSD569-Y, NTE196, TIP100, TIP100G, TIP101, TIP101G, TIP130, TIP130G, TIP131, TIP131G, TIP140T, TIP141T or TTC3710B.
