Leonard Use 3.3 with a loss tangent of .008 @ 10 GHz as a good average. LCP is all over the place and actual local Er depends on how much glass is contained in any section of the extrusion. Thiner sections contain less glass. Thicker sections are closer to the 30% average loading for this material. You'll find that loss tangent for these connectors does not much matter.
