Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC3853-P transistor can have a current gain of 70 to 140. The gain of the 2SC3853 will be in the range from 50 to 180, for the 2SC3853-O it will be in the range from 50 to 100, for the 2SC3853-Y it will be in the range from 90 to 180.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC3853-P might only be marked "C3853-P".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC3853-P is the 2SA1489-P.The BDP953 (SOT-223) is the SMD version of the 2SC3853-P transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the 2SC3853-P with the 2SC2563, 2SC2577, 2SC2578, 2SC2579, 2SC2580, 2SC2581, 2SC2706, 2SC2837, 2SC2837-P, 2SC3180, 2SC3180-O, 2SC3181, 2SC3181-O, 2SC3181N, 2SC3181N-O, 2SC3182, 2SC3182-O, 2SC3280, 2SC3284, 2SC3284-P, 2SC3519, 2SC3519-P, 2SC3835, 2SC3854, 2SC3854-P, 2SC3855, 2SC3855-P, 2SC4278, 2SC4466, 2SC4466-P, 2SC4467, 2SC4467-P, 2SC4468, 2SC4468-P, 2SC4652, 2SC4688, 2SC4689, 2SC4690, 2SC5196, 2SC5197, 2SC5198, 2SC5199, 2SC5774, 2SC5775, 2SD1046, 2SD1047, 2SD1148, 2SD1288, 2SD1289, 2SD1717, 2SD1840, 2SD1840-Q, 2SD1841, 2SD1841-Q, 2SD1842, 2SD1842-Q, 2SD2052, 2SD2053, 2SD712, 2SD716, 2SD731, 2SD843, 2SD843-O, 2SD895, 2SD998, BD245B, BD245C, BD249B, BD249C, BD745B, BD745C, BDV93, BDV95, FJA4310, FJA4310O, KTD1047, KTD1047B, KTD718, KTD718B, KTD998 or TIP35CA.
