Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SD1256-R transistor can have a current gain of 60 to 120. The gain of the 2SD1256 will be in the range from 60 to 260, for the 2SD1256-P it will be in the range from 130 to 260, for the 2SD1256-Q it will be in the range from 90 to 180.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SD1256-R might only be marked "D1256-R".You can replace the 2SD1256-R with the 2SD1257, 2SD1257-R, 2SD1257A or 2SD1257A-R.
