Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The complementary NPN transistor to the BD238 is the BD237.The BCP53 (SOT-223), BCP53-10 (SOT-223), BCP53-16 (SOT-223), BCX53 (SOT-89), BCX53-10 (SOT-89) and BCX53-16 (SOT-89) is the SMD version of the BD238 transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the BD238 with the 2N6036, 2N6036G, 2SB1067, 2SB1149, 2SB1149-K, 2SB1149-L, 2SB1149-M, 2SB1167, 2SB1167-Q, 2SB1167-R, 2SB1167-S, 2SB1167-T, 2SB1168, 2SB1168-Q, 2SB1168-R, 2SB1168-S, 2SB1168-T, BD180, BD180-10, BD180-6, BD180G, BD238G, BD380, BD380-10, BD380-16, BD380-25, BD380-6, BD442, BD442G, BD680, BD680A, BD680AG, BD680G, BD682, BD682G, BD780, BD790, BD792, KSB1149, KSB1149-G, KSB1149-O, KSB1149-Y, KSE172, KSE702, KSE703, MJE172, MJE172G, MJE250, MJE251, MJE253, MJE253G, MJE271, MJE271G, MJE702, MJE702G, MJE703 or MJE703G.
