Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The complementary NPN transistor to the BD956 is the BD955.The BDP956 (SOT-223) is the SMD version of the BD956 transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the BD956 with the 2SA1077, BD652, BDT62C, BDT64C, BDT88, BDT88F, BDW48, BDW64D, BDW74D, BDX34D, BDX54D, BDX54E, BDX54F, FJP1943, FJP1943O, FJP1943R, FJPF1943, FJPF1943O, FJPF1943R, MJE15029, MJE15029G, MJE15031, MJE15031G, MJF15031 or MJF15031G.
