Convert Teradata TIMESTAMP to SQL Server DateTime

Question

I have a Teradata TimeStamp(6) field which I have imported into a VarChar field in a staging table.  The values look like this:
1/22/2010 00:00:00.000000
9/15/2003 00:00:00.000000
10/10/2006 00:00:00.000000
I'm trying to move it to a permanent table in a SQL Server 2008R2 DateTime field.
I've tried different combinations of using CAST/CONVERT in the SELECT as well as a Data Conversion step, but can't find the right combination.  The error is usually something like this:
Error: 0xC0202009 at HEFIN, OLE DB Destination 1 [97]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR.  An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
An OLE DB record is available.  Source: "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0"  Hresult: 0x80004005  Description: "Invalid character value for cast specification".
Error: 0xC020901C at HEFIN, OLE DB Destination 1 [97]: There was an error with input column "DW_LOAD_TS" (129) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (110). The column status returned was: "The value could not be converted because
of a potential loss of data.".
Any suggestions?

Well, changing your original post now makes the first response a bit of nonsense.  But I refer you to the ultimate guide to the datetime datatype and the issues you will face in trying to convert a string to one of these datatypes (and many related
issues).  You should bookmark Tibor's site and give it all a read when you have time.

The convert function has a style argument that sets the expectation of the format within the string. Unfortunately, you have a format that is a problem.  If you are not concerned about the time portion, simply chop it off during the conversion (the
first query).  If you are using 2012, you can use the second (and if necessary use the locale option):
with cte as (select '1/22/2010 00:00:00.000000' as d1
union all select '9/15/2003 12:51:52.000000'
union all select '10/10/2006 00:00:00.000000')
select convert(datetime, left(d1, charindex(' ', d1) -1), 101) as x
from cte;
with cte as (select '1/22/2010 00:00:00.000000' as d1
union all select '9/15/2003 12:51:52.000000'
union all select '10/10/2006 00:00:00.000000')
select TRY_PARSE(d1 as datetime) as x
from cte;
