Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The complementary NPN transistor to the BD540A is the BD539A.The 2STF2360 (SOT-89), 2STN2360 (SOT-223), BDP950 (SOT-223), NZT660A (SOT-223) and STN951 (SOT-223) is the SMD version of the BD540A transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the BD540A with the 2N6040, 2N6040G, 2N6041, 2N6041G, 2N6042, 2N6042G, 2N6667, 2N6667G, 2N6668, 2N6668G, 2SA1010, 2SA1010K, 2SA1010L, 2SA1010M, 2SA1077, 2SA1259, 2SA1289, 2SA1289-Q, 2SA1289-R, 2SA1289-S, 2SA1290, 2SA1290-Q, 2SA1290-R, 2SA1290-S, 2SA1291, 2SA1291-Q, 2SA1291-R, 2SA1291-S, 2SA1293, 2SA1293-O, 2SA1293-Y, 2SA1308, 2SA1308-O, 2SA1308-Y, 2SA1329, 2SA1329-O, 2SA1329-Y, 2SA1388, 2SA1388-O, 2SA1388-Y, 2SA1452, 2SA1452-O, 2SA1452-Y, 2SA1452A, 2SA1452A-O, 2SA1452A-Y, 2SA1469, 2SA1469-Q, 2SA1469-R, 2SA1469-S, 2SA1470, 2SA1470-Q, 2SA1470-R, 2SA1470-S, 2SA1471, 2SA1471-Q, 2SA1471-R, 2SA1471-S, 2SA1725, 2SA1725-O, 2SA1725-P, 2SA1725-Y, 2SA1726, 2SA1726-O, 2SA1726-P, 2SA1726-Y, 2SA1742, 2SA1742-K, 2SA1742-L, 2SA1742-M, 2SA1743, 2SA1743-K, 2SA1743-L, 2SA1743-M, 2SA1744, 2SA1744-K, 2SA1744-L, 2SA1744-M, 2SA770, 2SA771, 2SB1016, 2SB1016-O, 2SB1016-R, 2SB1016-Y, 2SB1016A, 2SB1016A-O, 2SB1016A-Y, 2SB1018, 2SB1018-O, 2SB1018-Y, 2SB1018A, 2SB1018A-O, 2SB1018A-Y, 2SB1020, 2SB1020A, 2SB1097, 2SB1097-K, 2SB1097-L, 2SB1097-M, 2SB1224, 2SB1225, 2SB1227, 2SB1228, 2SB1252, 2SB1252-P, 2SB1252-Q, 2SB1367, 2SB1367-O, 2SB1367-R, 2SB1367-Y, 2SB1626, 2SB1626-O, 2SB1626-P, 2SB1626-Y, 2SB595, 2SB595-O, 2SB595-R, 2SB595-Y, 2SB601, 2SB601-K, 2SB601-L, 2SB601-M, 2SB633, 2SB633-C, 2SB633-D, 2SB633-E, 2SB633-F, 2SB673, 2SB674, 2SB675, 2SB707, 2SB707-O, 2SB707-R, 2SB707-Y, 2SB708, 2SB708-O, 2SB708-R, 2SB708-Y, 2SB747, 2SB747-P, 2SB747-Q, 2SB747-R, 2SB870, 2SB870-P, 2SB870-Q, 2SB870-R, 2SB881, 2SB882, 2SB885, 2SB886, 2SB945, 2SB945-P, 2SB945-Q, 2SB945-R, 2SB946, 2SB946-P, 2SB946-Q, 2SB946-R, 2SB951, 2SB951-P, 2SB951-Q, 2SB951A, 2SB951A-P, 2SB951A-Q, 2SB992, 2SB992-O, 2SB992-Y, 2SB995, 2SB995-O, 2SB995-R, 2SB995-Y, BD536, BD536K, BD538, BD538K, BD540B, BD540C, BD544A, BD544B, BD544C, BD546A, BD546B, BD546C, BD646, BD648, BD650, BD652, BD898, BD898A, BD900, BD900A, BD902, BD950, BD952, BD954, BD956, BDT62, BDT62A, BDT62B, BDT62C, BDT64, BDT64A, BDT64B, BDT64C, BDT82, BDT82F, BDT84, BDT84F, BDT86, BDT86F, BDT88, BDT88F, BDW24A, BDW24B, BDW24C, BDW45, BDW46, BDW46G, BDW47, BDW47G, BDW48, BDW64A, BDW64B, BDW64C, BDW64D, BDW74A, BDW74B, BDW74C, BDW74D, BDW94A, BDW94B, BDW94C, BDW94CF, BDX34A, BDX34B, BDX34BG, BDX34C, BDX34CG, BDX34D, BDX54A, BDX54B, BDX54BG, BDX54C, BDX54CG, BDX54D, D45H11, D45H11FP, D45H8, KSA1010, KSA1010O, KSA1010R, KSA1010Y, KSB1097, KSB1097-O, KSB1097-R, KSB1097-Y, KSB707, KSB707-O, KSB707-R, KSB707-Y, KSB708, KSB708-O, KSB708-R, KSB708-Y, KTA1038, KTA1038-O, KTA1038-Y, KTA1049, KTA1049O, KTA1049Y, KTB1367, KTB1367O, KTB1367R, KTB1367Y, MJE15029, MJE15029G, MJF127, MJF127G, MJF6668, MJF6668G, TIP105, TIP105G, TIP106, TIP106G, TIP107, TIP107G, TIP125, TIP125G, TIP126, TIP126G, TIP127, TIP127G, TIP135, TIP135G, TIP136, TIP136G, TIP137, TIP137G, TIP145T, TIP146T, TIP147T, TTA1452B, TTB1020B or TTB1452B.
