One of the most commonly used types of accelerators is linear electron accelerator. There is a project is in progress in Institute for research in fundamental sciences (IPM) aiming to design and build such an accelerator. It is defined in such a way that all parts to be built in Iran as possibly as it can. In this paper, after a brief explanation of the components of an electron linear accelerator; including the electron gun, accelerating tube, RF power supply, vacuum system, waveguide for transmitting RF power to accelerating tube, and cooling system; specification of each of these components are presented. The maximum beam energy of 15 MeV and RF pulse power of 2.5 MW with a traveling wave structure at a frequency of 2998 MHz which is acted in π /2 mode are the most important features of this accelerator
