Both words can indicate that a component is put into something larger. “Eingesetzt” usually emphasizes placing it in a designated position, while “eingebaut” highlights its permanent technical integration as part of the whole. “Eingesetzt” is more suitable for the act of placing something, while “eingebaut” is more suitable for permanent installation.
