Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SD1253A transistor can have a current gain of 40 to 250. The gain of the 2SD1253A-P will be in the range from 120 to 250, for the 2SD1253A-Q it will be in the range from 70 to 150, for the 2SD1253A-R it will be in the range from 40 to 90.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SD1253A might only be marked "D1253A".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SD1253A is the 2SB930A.The BDP951 (SOT-223) is the SMD version of the 2SD1253A transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.
