  To meet the re­quire­ments of a Pro­ton Ther­apy Fa­cil­ity funded by the Na­tional Key Re­search and De­vel­op­ment Pro­gram of China, a new com­pact ion source-LEBT in­te­grated pro­ton in­jec­tor was de­vel­oped at Peking Uni­ver­sity (PKU). It con­sists of a typ­i­cal PKU per­ma­nent mag­net com­pact 2.45 GHz ECR ion source (PME­CRIS) and an elec­tro­sta­tic LEBT with an elec­tro­sta­tic lens, a beam chop­per, a set of beam steers, an ACCT, a bel­low, an e-trap, and a valve. A 1000 L/s mol­e­c­u­lar pump is adopted to main­tain the vac­uum for this in­te­grated in­jec­tor. The length from RF match­ing plane to RFQ front flange is about 450 mm. Chop­per is used to shorten the pulse length from ms to µs with sharp edges. Test re­sults of this PMECR source prove that it has the abil­ity to de­liver a pro­ton beam with a cur­rent from 10 mA to 90 mA with a duty fac­tor of 3%(100Hz/0.3ms) and its RMS emit­tance less than 0.1 mm·mrad at 30 keV. The ac­cep­tance tests of this in­te­grated in­jec­tor have been per­formed with a 30 keV hy­dro­gen beam. A re­quired pro­ton cur­rent of 18 mA with rip­ple wave less than 0.1 mA suc­cess­fully passed through a 20 mm aper­ture di­aphragm at RFQ en­trance flange. Its rms emit­tance is about 0.06 mm·mrad.
