A contact mechanism is for a test head of a semiconductor test system for connecting the test head to a wafer prober or a test handler having a semiconductor device to be tested. The contact mechanism includes, a performance board mounted between the test head the wafer prober wherein the performance board has a guide hole, an insert ring mounted on a frame of the wafer prober, a probe card mounted on a central portion of the insert ring for contacting the semiconductor device to be tested, a contactor having a plurality of contact pins to achieve electric contact between the performance board and the probe card when pressed in downward by the performance board, a performance board shaft extending from a bottom of the test head and penetrating the guide hole of the performance board, a shaft clamp provided on the insert ring having a shaft guide hole to receive the performance board shaft therethrough wherein a bottom of the shaft guide hole is lower than a surface of the insert ring. In another aspect, the contact mechanism further includes a test head elevator to assist the vertical movement of the test head by reducing the weight of the test head.
