Running low on stock of Wima 2.2uf 50v caps, went to reorder and come to find out they're discontinued. What are recommended good replacements that you can get? Seems that a lot of replacements in my search are end of life. 5mm pitch would be preferred. Loved the Wilma's!!!

Panasonic ecwf mkp they aren't square blocks tho might be too big. Higher v too, forget I said anything.

Maybe Epcos b32529 blue square pet, used these similar to wima although results may vary.

I picked up some from eBay earlier this year when I rebuilt my Sony 1120. Looks like the seller still has stock there.
 
I'd be wary of parts from Amazon and ebay. Far too many fakes sold for a long time now.

Folks on ak talk about them. Just like the Nichicon PW and others that are mentioned here that go NLA setting off a flurry of threads seeking replacements.

There were plenty of caps to choose from years ago and the real techs, EchoWars, Markthefixer and others mentioned certain cap lines because they chose to use them and had good luck. If they had chosen the Kemet or Rubycon or many of the other brands available at Digikey/Mouser the OP’s question would be about that choice being eol.

I would think most any D or M supplied 2.2μF cap of similar materials of construction up to 100V would be very similar except in how it looks a very important aspect.
