Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SB1168-S transistor can have a current gain of 140 to 280. The gain of the 2SB1168 will be in the range from 70 to 400, for the 2SB1168-Q it will be in the range from 70 to 140, for the 2SB1168-R it will be in the range from 100 to 200, for the 2SB1168-T it will be in the range from 200 to 400.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SB1168-S might only be marked "B1168-S".The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SB1168-S is the 2SD1725-S.The BDP954 (SOT-223) and BDP956 (SOT-223) is the SMD version of the 2SB1168-S transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the 2SB1168-S with the MJE254.
