Energy recovery linac (ERL) based next generation light sources such as X-ray oscillator require high brightness electron gun. We have developed a 500-kV, 10-mA photocathode DC gun by the collaboration efforts of JAEA, KEK, Hiroshima Univ. and Nagoya Univ. A segmented cylindrical ceramic insulator with guard rings is employed to improve stability and robustness at high voltage operation by keeping secondary electrons away from the ceramic surface. A Cockcroft-Walton power supply is installed in a SF6 tank and high voltage test up to 550kV was successfully done. All the vacuum chambers are made of chmically polished titanium alloy with very low out-gassing. A photocathode preparation system was assembled and vacuum test is performed. Up-to-date status of the gun development will be presented in detail.
